FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for displaying live video feeds and recorded video.

BACKGROUND

Video cameras capture media content that can be displayed live or that can be recorded to be viewed at a later time. A user can have multiple video cameras that capture media content at various locations.

BRIEF SUMMARY

Some techniques for displaying live video feeds and recorded video using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.

Accordingly, the present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for displaying live video feeds and recorded video. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for displaying live video feeds and recorded video.

In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.

Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive display system 112 in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience and is sometimes known as or called a “touch-sensitive display system.” Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage mediums), memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input/output (I/O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).

As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in FIG. 1A are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application-specific integrated circuits.

Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Memory controller 122 optionally controls access to memory 102 by other components of device 100.

Peripherals interface 118 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory 102 to perform various functions for device 100 and to process data. In some embodiments, peripherals interface 118, CPU 120, and memory controller 122 are, optionally, implemented on a single chip, such as chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are, optionally, implemented on separate chips.

RF (radio frequency) circuitry 108 receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 converts electrical signals to/from electromagnetic signals and communicates with communications networks and other communications devices via the electromagnetic signals.

Audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and device 100. Audio circuitry 110 receives audio data from peripherals interface 118, converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to speaker 111. Speaker 111 converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 also receives electrical signals converted by microphone 113 from sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to peripherals interface 118 for processing. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory 102 and/or RF circuitry 108 by peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, audio circuitry 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., 212, FIG. 2). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry 110 and removable audio input/output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., a headphone for one or both ears) and input (e.g., a microphone).

I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on device 100, such as touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to peripherals interface 118. I/O subsystem 106 optionally includes display controller 156, optical sensor controller 158, intensity sensor controller 159, haptic feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive/send electrical signals from/to other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slider switches, joysticks, click wheels, and so forth. In some alternate embodiments, input controller(s) 160 are, optionally, coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208, FIG. 2) optionally include an up/down button for volume control of speaker 111 and/or microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., 206, FIG. 2).

A quick press of the push button optionally disengages a lock of touch screen 112 or optionally begins a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally turns power to device 100 on or off. The functionality of one or more of the buttons are, optionally, user-customizable. Touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.

Touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen 112. Touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user-interface objects.

Touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.

Touch screen 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone® and iPod Touch® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.

A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is, optionally, analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. patents: U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output.

A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jul. 30, 2004; (4) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/048,264, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 31, 2005; (5) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/038,590, “Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 18, 2005; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed Mar. 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.

Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.

In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is, optionally, a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

Device 100 also includes power system 162 for powering the various components. Power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices.

Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164. FIG. 1A shows an optical sensor coupled to optical sensor controller 158 in I/O subsystem 106. Optical sensor 164 optionally includes charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistors. Optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lenses, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), optical sensor 164 optionally captures still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112 on the front of the device so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.

Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165. FIG. 1A shows a contact intensity sensor coupled to intensity sensor controller 159 in I/O subsystem 106. Contact intensity sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.

Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166. FIG. 1A shows proximity sensor 166 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternately, proximity sensor 166 is, optionally, coupled to input controller 160 in I/O subsystem 106. Proximity sensor 166 optionally performs as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/241,839, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device”; Ser. No. 11/240,788, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device”; Ser. No. 11/620,702, “Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output”; Ser. No. 11/586,862, “Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices”; and Ser. No. 11/638,251, “Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals,” which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call).

Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167. FIG. 1A shows a tactile output generator coupled to haptic feedback controller 161 in I/O subsystem 106. Tactile output generator 167 optionally includes one or more electroacoustic devices such as speakers or other audio components and/or electromechanical devices that convert energy into linear motion such as a motor, solenoid, electroactive polymer, piezoelectric actuator, electrostatic actuator, or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component that converts electrical signals into tactile outputs on the device). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module 133 and generates tactile outputs on device 100 that are capable of being sensed by a user of device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in/out of a surface of device 100) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.

Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168. FIG. 1A shows accelerometer 168 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternately, accelerometer 168 is, optionally, coupled to an input controller 160 in I/O subsystem 106. Accelerometer 168 optionally performs as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050190059, “Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices,” and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20060017692, “Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer,” both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. Device 100 optionally includes, in addition to accelerometer(s) 168, a magnetometer (not shown) and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver (not shown) for obtaining information concerning the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device 100.

In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 130, graphics module (or set of instructions) 132, text input module (or set of instructions) 134, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 135, and applications (or sets of instructions) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) stores device/global internal state 157, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 3. Device/global internal state 157 includes one or more of: active application state, indicating which applications, if any, are currently active; display state, indicating what applications, views or other information occupy various regions of touch screen display 112; sensor state, including information obtained from the device's various sensors and input control devices 116; and location information concerning the device's location and/or attitude.

Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.

Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 30-pin connector used on iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.

Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.

In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter).

Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event.

Graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including, without limitation, text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.

In some embodiments, graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to display controller 156.

Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator(s) 167 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interactions with device 100.

Text input module 134, which is, optionally, a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).

GPS module 135 determines the location of the device and provides this information for use in various applications (e.g., to telephone 138 for use in location-based dialing; to camera 143 as picture/video metadata; and to applications that provide location-based services such as weather widgets, local yellow page widgets, and map/navigation widgets).

Applications 136 optionally include the following modules (or sets of instructions), or a subset or superset thereof:

Additional description of the online video application can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/936,562, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Jun. 20, 2007, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/968,067, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Dec. 31, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module is, optionally, combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152, FIG. 1A). In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 100 is, optionally, reduced.

The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.

FIG. 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 137-151, 155, 380-390).

Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.

In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.

Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).

In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.

Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.

Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.

Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.

Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.

Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.

In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.

In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.

A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.

Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (187) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.

In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (187) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.

When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.

In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.

In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.

In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.

In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.

In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.

It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.

FIG. 2 illustrates a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward), and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with device 100. In some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.

Device 100 optionally also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally, executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.

In some embodiments, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments. Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child's learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communications interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. Communication buses 320 optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. Device 300 includes input/output (I/O) interface 330 comprising display 340, which is typically a touch screen display. I/O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and touchpad 355, tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile outputs on device 300 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator(s) 167 described above with reference to FIG. 1A), sensors 359 (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s) 165 described above with reference to FIG. 1A). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A), or a subset thereof. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawing module 380, presentation module 382, word processing module 384, website creation module 386, disk authoring module 388, and/or spreadsheet module 390, while memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A) optionally does not store these modules.

Each of the above-identified elements in FIG. 3 is, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above-identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above-identified modules or programs (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that are, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.

FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device 100 in accordance with some embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

-   -   Signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s),         such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals;     -   Time 404;     -   Bluetooth indicator 405;     -   Battery status indicator 406;     -   Tray 408 with icons for frequently used applications, such as:         -   Icon 416 for telephone module 138, labeled “Phone,” which             optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed             calls or voicemail messages;         -   Icon 418 for e-mail client module 140, labeled “Mail,” which             optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread             e-mails;         -   Icon 420 for browser module 147, labeled “Browser;” and         -   Icon 422 for video and music player module 152, also             referred to as iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152,             labeled “iPod;” and     -   Icons for other applications, such as:         -   Icon 424 for IM module 141, labeled “Messages;”         -   Icon 426 for calendar module 148, labeled “Calendar;”         -   Icon 428 for image management module 144, labeled “Photos;”         -   Icon 430 for camera module 143, labeled “Camera;”         -   Icon 432 for online video module 155, labeled “Online             Video;”         -   Icon 434 for stocks widget 149-2, labeled “Stocks;”         -   Icon 436 for map module 154, labeled “Maps;”         -   Icon 438 for weather widget 149-1, labeled “Weather;”         -   Icon 440 for alarm clock widget 149-4, labeled “Clock;”         -   Icon 442 for workout support module 142, labeled “Workout             Support;”         -   Icon 444 for notes module 153, labeled “Notes;” and         -   Icon 446 for a settings application or module, labeled             “Settings,” which provides access to settings for device 100             and its various applications 136.

It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in FIG. 4A are merely exemplary. For example, icon 422 for video and music player module 152 is labeled “Music” or “Music Player.” Other labels are, optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, a label for a respective application icon includes a name of an application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct from a name of an application corresponding to the particular application icon.

FIG. 4B illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device 300, FIG. 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, FIG. 3) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g., touch screen display 112). Device 300 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 359) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 300.

Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 4B. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 4B) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 4B) on the display (e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 4B) with the touch-sensitive surface 451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in FIG. 4B, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470). In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462, and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 4B) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein.

Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.

FIG. 5A illustrates exemplary personal electronic device 500. Device 500 includes body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the features described with respect to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., FIGS. 1A-4B). In some embodiments, device 500 has touch-sensitive display screen 504, hereafter touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting intensity of contacts (e.g., touches) being applied. The one or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data that represents the intensity of touches. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touches based on their intensity, meaning that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.

Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed May 8, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2013/169849, and International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/069483, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships,” filed Nov. 11, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2014/105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms permit device 500 to be worn by a user.

FIG. 5B depicts exemplary personal electronic device 500. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the components described with respect to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 3. Device 500 has bus 512 that operatively couples I/O section 514 with one or more computer processors 516 and memory 518. I/O section 514 can be connected to display 504, which can have touch-sensitive component 522 and, optionally, intensity sensor 524 (e.g., contact intensity sensor). In addition, I/O section 514 can be connected with communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and/or other wireless communication techniques. Device 500 can include input mechanisms 506 and/or 508. Input mechanism 506 is, optionally, a rotatable input device or a depressible and rotatable input device, for example. Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a button, in some examples.

Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section 514.

Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, and 1700 (FIGS. 7A-7C, 9, 11A-11C, 13, 15A-15B, and 17). A computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, magnetic, optical, and/or semiconductor storages. Examples of such storage include magnetic disks, optical discs based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technologies, as well as persistent solid-state memory such as flash, solid-state drives, and the like. Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to the components and configuration of FIG. 5B, but can include other or additional components in multiple configurations.

As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3, and 5A-5B). For example, an image (e.g., icon), a button, and text (e.g., hyperlink) each optionally constitute an affordance.

As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in FIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch screen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 in FIG. 1A or touch screen 112 in FIG. 4A) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display, a detected contact on the touch screen acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device).

As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.

FIG. 5C illustrates detecting a plurality of contacts 552A-552E on touch-sensitive display screen 504 with a plurality of intensity sensors 524A-524D. FIG. 5C additionally includes intensity diagrams that show the current intensity measurements of the intensity sensors 524A-524D relative to units of intensity. In this example, the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A and 524D are each 9 units of intensity, and the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524B and 524C are each 7 units of intensity. In some implementations, an aggregate intensity is the sum of the intensity measurements of the plurality of intensity sensors 524A-524D, which in this example is 32 intensity units. In some embodiments, each contact is assigned a respective intensity that is a portion of the aggregate intensity. FIG. 5D illustrates assigning the aggregate intensity to contacts 552A-552E based on their distance from the center of force 554. In this example, each of contacts 552A, 552B, and 552E are assigned an intensity of contact of 8 intensity units of the aggregate intensity, and each of contacts 552C and 552D are assigned an intensity of contact of 4 intensity units of the aggregate intensity. More generally, in some implementations, each contact j is assigned a respective intensity Ij that is a portion of the aggregate intensity, A, in accordance with a predefined mathematical function, Ij=A.(Dj/ΣDi), where Dj is the distance of the respective contact j to the center of force, and ΣDi is the sum of the distances of all the respective contacts (e.g., i=1 to last) to the center of force. The operations described with reference to FIGS. 5C-5D can be performed using an electronic device similar or identical to device 100, 300, or 500. In some embodiments, a characteristic intensity of a contact is based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the intensity sensors are used to determine a single characteristic intensity (e.g., a single characteristic intensity of a single contact). It should be noted that the intensity diagrams are not part of a displayed user interface, but are included in FIGS. 5C-5D to aid the reader.

In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location is, optionally, based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is, optionally, applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.

The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.

An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.

In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input).

FIGS. 5E-5H illustrate detection of a gesture that includes a press input that corresponds to an increase in intensity of a contact 562 from an intensity below a light press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT_(L)”) in FIG. 5E, to an intensity above a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT_(D)”) in FIG. 5H. The gesture performed with contact 562 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 560 while cursor 576 is displayed over application icon 572B corresponding to App 2, on a displayed user interface 570 that includes application icons 572A-572D displayed in predefined region 574. In some embodiments, the gesture is detected on touch-sensitive display 504. The intensity sensors detect the intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 560. The device determines that the intensity of contact 562 peaked above the deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT_(D)”). Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitive surface 560. In response to the detection of the gesture, and in accordance with contact 562 having an intensity that goes above the deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT_(D)”) during the gesture, reduced-scale representations 578A-578C (e.g., thumbnails) of recently opened documents for App 2 are displayed, as shown in FIGS. 5F-5H. In some embodiments, the intensity, which is compared to the one or more intensity thresholds, is the characteristic intensity of a contact. It should be noted that the intensity diagram for contact 562 is not part of a displayed user interface, but is included in FIGS. 5E-5H to aid the reader.

In some embodiments, the display of representations 578A-578C includes an animation. For example, representation 578A is initially displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. 5F. As the animation proceeds, representation 578A moves upward and representation 578B is displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. 5G. Then, representations 578A moves upward, 578B moves upward toward representation 578A, and representation 578C is displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. 5H. Representations 578A-578C form an array above icon 572B. In some embodiments, the animation progresses in accordance with an intensity of contact 562, as shown in FIGS. 5F-5G, where the representations 578A-578C appear and move upwards as the intensity of contact 562 increases toward the deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT_(D)”). In some embodiments, the intensity, on which the progress of the animation is based, is the characteristic intensity of the contact. The operations described with reference to FIGS. 5E-5H can be performed using an electronic device similar or identical to device 100, 300, or 500.

In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).

For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold.

Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.

FIGS. 6A-6S illustrate exemplary user interfaces for displaying a live video feed and recorded video from a source of video data (e.g., a camera), in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 7A-7C.

FIG. 6A illustrates electronic device 600 with touch-sensitive display 602. In some embodiments, device 600 includes some or all of the features of devices 100, 300, and 500. In FIG. 6A, device 600 displays a home user interface 604 of an application for managing devices (e.g., controllable devices) associated with a location 123 Main St. Home user interface 604 includes, inter alia, the name of the location (123 Main St.), add accessory affordance 606 and camera representations 610 corresponding to respective sources of video data (e.g., cameras), and affordances associated with various other features of the application (e.g., device status, such as lights ON/OFF, doors locked/unlocked, etc.). As illustrated in FIG. 6A, camera representations 610 correspond respectively to Camera 1 (front door camera; 610 a), Camera 2 (back patio camera; 610 b), Camera 3 (living room camera; 610 c), Camera 4 (kid's room camera; 610 d), Camera 5 (side door camera; 610 e), and Camera 6 (garage camera; 610 f).

In FIG. 6A, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 650 a (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of camera representation 610 a associated with a front door camera.

As illustrated in FIG. 6B, in response to receiving user input 650 a, device 600 displays a video media user interface 608 that includes a live (e.g., non-recorded, real-time) video feed from the front door camera. Play/pause affordance 612 can be selected (e.g., with a tap input on display 602) to pause the live video feed. Video media user interface 608 also includes scrubber bar 620. As illustrated in FIG. 6B, scrubber bar 620 includes an interactive, elongated region on display 602 that includes a representation of media content that can be scrolled along the direction parallel to direction of elongation. In some embodiments, the media content (e.g., video) can be played back at arbitrary and variable rates based on a characteristic (e.g., the speed of a received user input). In some embodiments, the scrubber bar represents approximately one day of content at a time.

Current display indicator 622 in scrubber bar 620 indicates what portion of scrubber bar 620 corresponds to the currently displayed image. As illustrated in FIG. 6B, current display indicator 622 indicates that the currently displayed video is a live feed. Positions on scrubber bar 620 to the left of the current display indicator correspond to times before the time associated with the currently displayed image, whereas positions on scrubber bar 620 to the right of the current display indicator 622 correspond to times after the time associated with the currently displayed image.

As illustrated in FIG. 6B, scrubber bar 620 includes clip representations 624 a and 624 b of recorded clips of video from the front door camera. In some embodiments, a recorded clip of video is represented by a rounded rectangle or a shaded area of scrubber bar 620. As illustrated in FIG. 6B, the clip representations each include a representation of an image from the respective recorded clip of video (e.g., a thumbnail representation or an actual image from the clip). In some embodiments, the image represents the first frame or a frame in the middle of the recorded clip of video (e.g., a representative frame).

As illustrated in FIG. 6B, each clip representation video has a visual width in scrubber bar 620 that is proportional to a duration of the corresponding recorded clip of video. For example, representation 624 a is narrower than representation 624 b, which indicates that the duration of the recorded clip of video represented by clip representation 624 b is shorter than the duration of the recorded clip of video represented by clip representation 624 a. In some embodiments, a representation of a recorded clip of video includes a number of representative images from the recorded clip of video, where the number of representative images is directly proportional to the duration of the recorded clip of video. As illustrated in FIG. 6B, clip representation 624 b includes approximately one and a half representative images from the corresponding clip, whereas clip representation 624 a includes one representative image, indicating that the clip represented by clip representation 624 b is approximately fifty percent longer than the clip represented by clip representation 624 a.

Scrubber bar 620 also includes break indications 626 a-626 c of periods of time during which recorded video from the front door camera is not available. As illustrated in FIG. 6B, the periods of time during which recorded video from the front door camera is not available are indicated by spaces (e.g., areas with uniform color) and dots between representations of recorded clips of video.

In some embodiments, the indication of the period of time during which recorded video from the source is not available is independent from the duration of the period of time. As illustrated in FIG. 6B, the distance on scrubber bar 620 between two clip representations (e.g., between representation 624 a and 624 b) is independent from the amount of time between the end of one clip (e.g., the clip associated with clip representation 624 b) and the beginning of the subsequent clip (e.g., the clip associated with clip representation 624 a). As illustrated in FIG. 6B, the distance between representation 624 a and 624 b is the same regardless of the amount of time between the end of one clip and the beginning of the subsequent clip. (e.g., the distance between representations is fixed or constant from one representation to the next). In some embodiments, the distance on scrubber bar 620 between clip representations varies from one clip representation to the next. In some embodiments, the distance between two clip representations is based on (e.g., is directly proportional to) the amount of time between the end of one clip and the beginning of the subsequent clip.

As illustrated in FIG. 6B, the live video feed shows that there is a package on the front door step. As illustrated in FIGS. 6C-6D, a person picks up the package and takes it into the house. This activity is detected (e.g., via motion detection processing). In response to detecting the motion, the live video feed from the front door camera is recorded (e.g., by the front door camera, a server remote to the front door camera, or device 600). In some embodiments, video from the front door camera is recorded for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 10 seconds from the time motion is detected or from the time motion is detected until 10 seconds after motion ceases to be detected).

In some embodiments, device 600 receives data representing a newly recorded clip of video from the front door camera. As illustrated in FIG. 6E, in response to receiving data representing the a recorded clip of the video illustrated in FIGS. 6C-6D, clip representation 624 c of the recorded clip is added to scrubber bar 620 at a position representative of the time the clip was recorded.

Turning to FIG. 6F, while displaying the video media user interface 608 with the live video feed, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 650 b, which includes a tap on touch-sensitive display 602 at the location corresponding to clip representation 626A.

As illustrated in FIG. 6G, in response to receiving user input 650B, device 600 displays the recorded clip of video corresponding to selected clip representation 624 a (e.g., by replacing the live video feed with a display of the recorded clip of video corresponding to selected clip representation 624 a) and changes (e.g., updates or scrolls) the display of scrubber bar 620 to indicate the portion of scrubber bar 620 that corresponds to the image currently displayed in the main region of the display. As illustrated in FIG. 6G, scrubber bar 620 is updated to indicate that the video being displayed corresponds to the recorded clip of video represented by clip representation 624 a by scrolling scrubber bar 620 such that clip representation 624 a is moved from the position illustrated in FIG. 6B to the position of current display indicator 622.

As illustrated in FIG. 6G, in response to receiving user input 650 b, device 600 also displays indications of date and time associated with the displayed image (e.g., the date and time at which the displayed image was recorded). The indications include date bar 630 at the top of display 602 and the time 628 a (e.g., in hour, minute, second, and AM/PM format) and day of the week 628 b associated with the displayed image. Date bar 630 represents a period of time (e.g., seven days) and includes day indicator 632 corresponding to the day of the week.

Similarly, receiving a user input corresponding to selection of clip representation 626 b causes device 600 to display the recorded clip corresponding to clip representation 624 b, update scrubber bar 620 to place clip representation 624 a at current display indicator 622, and display indicators (e.g., date bar 630, time 628 a, and day of the week 628 b) for the date and time associated with the recorded clip corresponding to clip representation 624 b.

As illustrated in FIG. 6G, displaying the recorded clip includes playing the recorded clip (e.g., starting at the first frame). In some embodiments, displaying the recorded clip of video includes displaying a portion of the selected clip (e.g., paused video of a first frame of the clip or a still image of a representative from of the clip). In some embodiments, the recorded clip is initially paused and play/pause affordance 612 represents a play button instead of a pause button so that the clip can be played. In some embodiments, the display of the recorded clip of video is based on the position of user input 650 b (e.g., the selected clip is played from a frame corresponding to the portion of clip representation 624 a contacted by user input 650 b).

In some embodiments, device 600 displays the recorded clip of video corresponding to clip representation 624 a in response to a swipe (e.g., a left-to-right swipe) on touch-sensitive display 602 (e.g., on the display of the live video feed or the scrubber bar). In some embodiments, the displayed video is based on a length or velocity of the swipe (e.g., a shorter or slower swipe will display a more recent clip or a more recent portion of a clip than a longer or faster swipe). For example, a relatively short swipe will cause the clip corresponding to clip representation 624 a to be displayed, whereas a longer swipe will display the clip corresponding to clip representation 624 b.

In some embodiments, instead of scrolling the representations in the scrubber bar to indicate which portion of the content is being displayed, the current display indicator 622 is moved to the clip representation of the displayed clip (e.g., the positions of clip representations 624 a and 624 b remain the same).

In some embodiments, in response to a user input that scrolls scrubber bar 620 to a time at which no recorded video from the front door camera is not available, device 600 displays a placeholder image (e.g., a paused or blurred image of the most recently captured image from the live feed or a recorded image that is closest in time to the selected time).

In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input corresponding to a command to display video from the front door camera at a previous time (e.g., a tap on a clip representation of a recorded clip of video or a left-to-right swipe or drag gesture), device 600 displays an affordance for returning to the live video feed from the front door camera. As illustrated in FIG. 6G, in response to receiving user input 650 b in FIG. 6F, live affordance 636 b is displayed to the right of scrubber bar 620. In some embodiments, live affordance 636 b replaces related applications affordance 636A (e.g., in response to user input to display video from a previous time). In response to receiving a user input corresponding to selection of live affordance 636 b (e.g., a tap on live affordance 636 b), device 600 displays a live video feed from the front door camera and updates scrubber bar 620 to indicate that the displayed video is a live video feed (e.g., as shown in FIG. 6B, except with video at the current time). In some embodiments, date bar 630 and indication of time 628 a and day of the week 628 b are removed.

Turning now to FIG. 6H, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 650 c. As illustrated in FIG. 6H, user input 650 c includes a drag gesture from right-to-left on scrubber bar 620. As illustrated in FIG. 6I, in response to user input 650C, device 600 advances the clip forward in time, scrolls scrubber bar 620 to the left, and updates time and day indicators 628 a-628 b. In some embodiments, day indicator 632 on date bar 630 updates when scrubber bar 620 is scrolled to a different day (e.g., past a day break indication 621 as discussed below with respect to FIG. 6K). In some embodiments, the duration of time represented by the date bar remains fixed while the scrubber bar is scrolled until an end of the time range represented by the date bar is reached (e.g., scrubber bar 620 is scrolled to a time beyond the extent of the range currently represented by the date bar). If scrubber bar 620 is scrolled to a time beyond the range represented by the date bar, the date bar will be updated to show the preceding or subsequent period of time (e.g., previous 7 day range).

In some embodiments, date bar 630 includes an affordance that can be used to display video from a selected day. As illustrated in FIG. 6J, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 650 d (e.g., a tap) at a position on date bar 630 corresponding to Saturday, January 27. As illustrated in FIG. 6K, in response to receiving user input 650 d, device 600 displays a clip of video from the front door camera that was recorded on Saturday, January 27, starting at 12:18:06 AM. Scrubber bar 620 is updated to indicate that clip representation 624 e corresponds to the displayed clip, and date bar 630 (including day indicator 632), time indicator 628 a, and day of the week indicator 628 b are updated to indicate the selected day and time. In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input (e.g., a tap) on forward arrow (“>”) or backward arrow (“<”) on the ends of date bar 630, device 600 scrolls date bar 630 forward or backward in time, respectively, by a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 1 day, 7 days, or the time range displayed by date bar 630). In some embodiments, further in response to receiving an input on forward arrow or backward arrow on date bar 630, device 600 displays an image corresponding to a predetermined amount of after or before, respectively, the time corresponding to the currently displayed image (e.g., 7 days after or before January 30, as illustrated in FIG. 6J) and updates scrubber bar 620 accordingly.

As illustrated in FIG. 6K, scrubber bar 620 also includes day break indication 621 of a boundary between two days (e.g., Friday and Saturday). As illustrated in FIG. 6K, the boundary is indicated by a vertical line on/through scrubber bar 620.

As illustrated in FIG. 6L, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 650 e (e.g., a tap) on share affordance 634 b (e.g., adjacent to scrubber bar 620). In some embodiments, share affordance 634 b replaces edit affordance 634 a (illustrated, e.g., in FIGS. 6B-6F) in response to an input corresponding to selection of a previously recorded clip (e.g., user input 650 b in FIG. 6F) or previous time (e.g., user input 650 c in FIG. 6H). In response to receiving user input 650 e, device 600 initiates a process for selecting a segment of recorded video and sharing the selected segment of recorded video. As illustrated in FIG. 6M, device 600 displays a more detailed representation of the currently displayed clip of video in scrubber bar 620 (e.g., a plurality of representative images from only the currently displayed clip). The date and time range of the current clip is displayed at the top of display 602 (e.g., in replace of date bar 630). Device 600 also displays selector handle affordances 623 a and 623 b on scrubber bar 620 for selecting a portion of the displayed clip to share.

As illustrated in FIGS. 6N-6Q, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user inputs 650 f and 650 g (e.g., drag gestures) on selector handle affordances 623 a and 623 b, which move selector handle affordances 623 a and 623 b to select a portion 625 in the middle of the displayed clip. As illustrated in FIG. 6R, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 650 h (e.g., a tap) on share affordance 634 b (which was moved from the position illustrated in, e.g., FIG. 6L to the top of display 602 in response to user input 650 e). As illustrated in FIG. 6S, in response to receiving user input 650 h, device 600 displays sharing menu 638, which includes various options for sharing, saving, or performing other operations associated with the selected portion of the displayed clip.

FIGS. 7A-7C are a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a live video feed and recorded video from a source of video data (e.g., a camera) using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 700 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 700 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way for displaying a live video feed and recorded video from a source of video data (e.g., a camera) using an electronic device. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for displaying a live video feed and recorded video, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to display a live video feed and recorded video faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 702, the device displays a video media user interface (e.g., 608) that includes a live (e.g., non-recorded, real-time) video feed from a first source (e.g., a camera) and a scrubber bar (e.g., 620). In some embodiments, a scrubber bar is an interactive, elongated region on the display (e.g., 602) that includes a representation of media content (e.g., 624 a, 624 b) that can be scrolled along the direction parallel to direction of elongation. In some embodiments, the media content (e.g., the video) can be played back at arbitrary and variable rates based on a characteristic (e.g., the speed of a received user input). In some embodiments, the scrubber bar represents approximately one day of content at a time.

The scrubber bar (e.g., 620) includes a representation of a recorded clip of video (e.g., 624 a) from the first source (e.g., a rounded rectangle or shaded area of the scrubber bar). The representation is located at a first position in the scrubber bar (e.g., the position corresponding to a time before the current time). In some embodiments, the representation of the recorded clip of video has a visual width in the scrubber bar that is proportional to a duration of the recorded clip of video. In some embodiments, the representation of the recorded clip of video includes a representation of an image from the recorded clip of video (e.g., a thumbnail representation or an actual image from the clip). In some embodiments, the image represents the first frame or a frame in the middle of the recorded clip of video. In some embodiments, the representation of the recorded clip of video includes a number of representative images from the recorded clip of video, where the number of representative images is directly proportional to the duration of the recorded clip of video.

In some embodiments, the scrubber bar further includes an indication (e.g., 626 a, 626 b, 626 c) of a period of time during which recorded video from the first source is not available. In some embodiments, the periods of time during which recorded video from the first source is not available are indicated by spaces (e.g., uniform color or dots; e.g., 626 b) between representations of recorded clips of video. In some embodiments, the indication of the period of time during which recorded video from the first source is not available is independent from the duration of the period of time. In some embodiments, the distance on the scrubber bar between two representations of recorded clips of video is independent from the amount of time between the end of one clip and the beginning of the subsequent clip (e.g., the distance is fixed). In some embodiments, the distance on the scrubber bar between two representations of recorded clips of video is variable (e.g., the distance is based on (e.g., is directly proportional to) the amount of time between the end of one clip and the beginning of the subsequent clip. In some embodiments, the scrubber bar further includes an indication of a boundary between a first day and a second day. In some embodiments, the boundary between two days is indicated by a vertical line on or through the scrubber bar.

At block 704, while displaying the video media user interface (e.g., 608), the device detects a first user input (e.g., 650 b) (e.g., a right swipe on the display or a tap on the clip). In some embodiments, the first user input includes a swipe on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the swipe is a left-to-right swipe on a touch-sensitive display (e.g., on the live video feed or on the scrubber bar). In some embodiments, the displayed video is based on a length or velocity of the swipe (e.g., a shorter or slower swipe will display a more recent clip (or more recent portion of a clip) than a longer or faster swipe). In some embodiments, the first user input includes a tap on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device, where the tap has a location corresponding to the representation of the recorded clip of video.

At block 706, the device replaces the live video feed (e.g., feed of FIG. 6E) with a display of the recorded clip of video (e.g., paused video of the first frame of the clip, a representative frame of the clip, play the clip from the beginning, or play the clip from a frame based on the position to which the scrubber bar is scrolled) (e.g., feed of FIG. 6G). In some embodiments, the device replaces the live video feed with a display of the recorded clip of video in response to detecting the first user input. In some embodiments, displaying the recorded clip of video includes displaying a portion of the clip (e.g., paused video of a first frame of the clip or a frame corresponding to a position in the clip selected by the first input). In some embodiments, displaying the recorded clip includes playing the recorded clip (e.g., starting at the first frame or a frame corresponding to the position in the clip selected by the first input). Replacing the live video feed with a display of the recorded clip of video provides the user with feedback regarding the current state of the media content being displayed on the device. The feedback indicates to the user that the user is no longer viewing the live video feed. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

At block 708, the device updates the scrubber bar (e.g., 620) to indicate that the display of the recorded clip of video corresponds to the representation of the recorded clip of video in the scrubber bar (e.g., FIG. 6G). In some embodiments, the device updates the scrubber bar to indicate that the display of the recorded clip of video corresponds to the representation of the recorded clip of video in the scrubber bar in response to detecting the first user input. In some embodiments, a pointer element (e.g., 622) is moved to the representation of the clip. In some embodiments, the representation of the clip is moved to a different position in the scrubber bar (e.g., the center). In some embodiments, the representation of the entire video content in the scrubber bar is scrolled such that the content represented at a fixed position (e.g., the center) in the scrubber bar is displayed in the main region). Updating the scrubber bar to indicate that the display of the recorded clip of video corresponds to the representation of the recorded clip of video in the scrubber bar provides the user with feedback as to the current state of the media content being displayed on the device. The feedback indicates to the user that the user is no longer viewing the live video feed. Additionally, the feedback indicates to the user that the user is able to control the content being displayed by interacting with the scrubber bar. Further, the feedback indicates to the user the approximate date/time the clip was recorded as it is shown in a position that is relative to the other clips in the scrubber bar. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

Optionally, at block 710, the device displays an indication of a time (e.g., 632) associated with the recorded clip of video (e.g., in response to detecting the first user input). In some embodiments, the indication includes a date bar (e.g., 630) (e.g., displayed at or near the top of the display) highlighting the day during which the displayed portion of video was recorded. In some embodiments, the date bar represents a fixed duration of time (e.g., seven days). In some embodiments, the indication includes text (e.g., above the scrubber bar) indicating the time and day of the week at which the video was recorded. In some embodiments, the duration of time represented by the date bar remains fixed while the scrubber bar is scrolled until an end of the date bar is reached (e.g., the user scrubs to a time beyond the extent of the date bar).

In some embodiments, the indication of time (e.g., 628 a) associated with the recorded clip of video includes an affordance representing a period of time and indicating the time associated with the recorded clip of video. Optionally, at block 712, the device receives a second user input (e.g., 650 d) corresponding to selection of the affordance representing the period of time (e.g., selection of a particular day or a forward/backward arrow at an end of the date bar). In some embodiments, selecting the forward/backward arrow will scroll the affordance to a subsequent/previous period of time (e.g., the subsequent/previous seven days). Optionally, in response to receiving the second user input, the device performs the operations of blocks 714, 716, and 718. At block 714, the device replaces the display of the recorded clip of video with display of a third recorded clip of video (e.g., a video recorded on the date selected in the date bar or, if the forward/backward arrow is selected, a video recorded seven days after/before the day on which the currently displayed portion was recorded); at block 716, the device updates the affordance to indicate a time associated with the third recorded clip of video (e.g., move a circle indicator from the previous day to the selected day); and at block 718, the device updates the scrubber bar to indicate that the third recorded clip of video corresponds to a representation of the third recorded clip of video in the scrubber bar (e.g., 624 e). Updating the affordance to indicate a time associated with the third recorded clip of video provides the user with feedback that the user is capable of quickly jumping between different clips that were recorded on different days. Additionally, the feedback indicates to the user that the user is able to control the content being displayed by interacting with the date bar. Further, updating the scrubber bar to indicate that the third recorded clip of video corresponds to a representation of the third recorded clip of video in the scrubber bar provides the user with feedback regarding the approximate date/time the clip was recorded as it is shown in a position that is relative to the other clips in the scrubber bar. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the device displays a second affordance (e.g., 636 b) (e.g., in response to detecting the first user input). In some embodiments, the second affordance is an icon displayed adjacent to the scrubber bar. Optionally, at block 720, the device detects a third user input (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of the second affordance. Optionally, in response to detecting the third user input corresponding to selection of the second affordance, the device performs the operations of blocks 722 and 724. At block 722, the device displays the live video feed (e.g., feed of FIG. 6B). At block 724, the device updates the scrubber bar to indicate that the live video feed is displayed. In some embodiments, the date bar and indication of time are removed from the display. Displaying a second affordance (e.g., “LIVE” icon) provides a user with feedback as to the current state of the media content being displayed on the device. In particular, the second affordance provides feedback to the user that the user is no longer viewing live content, and that the user can switch back to the live content by selecting the second affordance. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

Optionally, at block 726, the device receives data representing a second recorded clip of video from the first source. Optionally, at block 728, the device displays a representation of the second recorded clip of video (e.g., 624 c) in the scrubber bar in response to receiving data representing the second recorded clip of video from the first source.

In some embodiments, the video media user interface includes a third affordance (e.g., 634 b) (e.g., a “share” affordance). Optionally, at block 730, the device detects a fourth user input (e.g., 650 e) (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of the third affordance. Optionally, at block 732, in response to detecting the fourth user input corresponding to selection of the third affordance, the device initiates a process for selecting a segment of recorded video and sharing the selected segment of recorded video. In some embodiments, the process for selecting a segment of recorded video includes displaying an affordance (e.g., selector handles on the scrubber bar (e.g., 623 a, 623 b) for selecting a portion of recorded content to share, detecting an input on the affordance (e.g., adjustment of the selector handles), and selection of an affordance for designating a recipient and communication method for sharing the selected segment of recorded video.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 700 (e.g., FIGS. 7A-7C) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below. For example, method 700 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to methods 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, 2100, 2300, 2500, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can provide the live video feed in method 700. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 8A-8J illustrate exemplary user interfaces for displaying video (e.g., live or recorded) from a video source (e.g., a camera) and controlling external devices related to the source, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIG. 9.

FIG. 8A illustrates device 600 displaying user interface 800, which includes a live video feed from the front door camera (described above) and scrubber bar 620. In some embodiments, instead of a live video feed from the front door camera, device 600 displays another representation of video data such as a notification corresponding to an event (e.g., motion detection) associated with the front door camera, as described in greater detail below with reference to FIGS. 8A-8J.

User interface 800 also includes related devices affordance 636A for accessing controls for at least one controllable external device that is associated with the front door camera. As illustrated in FIG. 8A, related devices affordance 636 a is a separate icon next to scrubber bar 620.

At FIG. 8A, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 850 a (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of related devices affordance 636A. As illustrated in FIG. 8B, in response to receiving user input 850 a, device 600 displays user interface 802, which includes menu 804 of device affordances 804 a-804 f that represent respective controllable external devices. One or more of the controllable external devices represented by affordances 804 a-804 f are associated with the front door camera. In some embodiments, a controllable external device is associated with the front door camera based on at least one of physical proximity to the source of video data (e.g., the controllable external device and the video source are physically located in the same room or portion of a building), a designated association with the front door camera (e.g., the controllable external device and the video source are manually associated by a user, such as through an graphical user interface), or common functionality with the front door camera. In some embodiments, the controllable external device and the front door camera serve a security function (e.g., a security camera (the video source) is associated with lights (the controllable external device(s)) a user may want to turn on and door locks (more controllable external device(s)) that a user may want to lock, even if the device is not in physical proximity to the camera (e.g., all external doors, including a back door)). As illustrated in FIG. 8B, menu 804 is a pop-up menu overlaid on user interface 802. In some embodiments, in response to selection of related devices affordance 636 a, device 600 replaces user interface 800 (e.g., ceases displaying the live video feed and scrubber bar 620) with a separate user interface that includes menu 804.

As illustrated in FIG. 8C, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 850 b (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 804 e representing a garage door camera. In response to receiving user input 850 b, device 600 initiates a process for controlling the selected controllable external device. As illustrated in FIG. 8D, device 600 ceases to display the live video feed from the front door camera and replaces the live video feed from the front door camera with separate user interface 806 having controls (e.g., scrubber bar 620, etc.) for the garage door camera. In some embodiments, a selected device is controlled directly in response to selection of the corresponding affordance. For example, in response to selection of affordance 804 b, the front door is unlocked (e.g., device 600 sends instructions to the front door lock or sends data to a central controller device indicating that the front door is to be unlocked). In some embodiments, instead of directly controlling the selected device, the process for controlling the selected device includes one or more intervening steps (e.g., displaying a menu of operational states for the selected device, receiving an input corresponding to selection of one of the states, and sending instructions to cause the selected device to operate according to the selected state).

Turning now to FIG. 8E, another embodiment for accessing controls for devices related to a source of video data is described. As illustrated in FIG. 8E, device 600 displays user interface 808 with notification 810, which represents the front door camera (e.g., via representative image 810 a from the front door camera and text “FRONT DOOR”). In some embodiments, notification 810 is displayed in response to motion detected by the front door camera. In some embodiments, notification 810 is displayed in response to activation of a device associated with the front door camera (e.g., activation of the front doorbell).

Notification 810 includes an affordance for accessing controls for at least one controllable external device that is associated with the front door camera. In some embodiments, the affordance is included in notification 810 itself, which is selectable (e.g., notification 810 is the affordance). At FIG. 8F, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 850 c (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of notification 810. In response to receiving user input 850 c, device 600 displays an image from the front door camera (e.g., a live or paused video stream, a playing or paused recorded video clip, or a notification of a recorded video clip). As illustrated in FIG. 8G, in response to receiving user input 850 c, device 600 removes notification 810 and displays recorded video clip 812 from the front door camera corresponding to the event that caused the notification (e.g., detecting the motion of a cat).

Device 600 also displays affordances 814 a-814 c for controlling (or accessing controls for) a front door lock, front porch light, and front porch intercom, respectively, all of which are associated with the front door camera. In FIG. 8G, affordances 814 a-814 c include an indication of the current state of the respective device. In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 8J, device 600 displays affordances 816 a-816 b that indicate the action that will result from selection of the affordance.

In some embodiments, device 600 displays video controls with the image from the front door camera. As illustrated in FIG. 8G, device 600 displays play/pause affordance 818, scrubber bar 820, and “LIVE” affordance 822. As illustrated in FIGS. 8H-8I, device 600 receives user input 850 d (e.g., a tap) on “LIVE” affordance 822 and, in response, displays a live video feed from the front door camera (e.g., in place of the recorded clip of video). In FIG. 8I, LIVE” affordance 822 is modified (as compared to FIG. 8H) to indicate that the displayed image is a live video feed.

FIG. 9 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying video (e.g., live or recorded) from a video source (e.g., a camera) and controlling external devices related to the source using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 900 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 900 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way for displaying video (e.g., live or recorded) from a video source (e.g., a camera) and controlling external devices related to the source. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for displaying video (e.g., live or recorded) from a video source (e.g., a camera) and controlling external devices related to the source, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to display video (e.g., live or recorded) from a video source (e.g., a camera) and control external devices related to the source faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 902, the device displays a first user interface (e.g., 800) that includes a representation of video data from a source of video data (e.g., a live or paused video stream, a playing or paused recorded clip, a notification of a recorded clip (e.g., 810), etc.) and a first affordance (e.g., 636 a) for accessing controls for at least one controllable external device that is associated with the source of video data. In some embodiments, when the representation of the video data is the main video viewing UI, the affordance is a separate icon (e.g., next to the scrubber bar). In some embodiments, when the representation of video data is part of a notification, the notification itself is the affordance. In some embodiments, the representation of video data includes a live video feed from the source of video data. In some embodiments, the representation of video data includes a notification corresponding to an event associated with the source of video data. In some embodiments, a notification is displayed in response to motion detected by the source of video data. In some embodiments, the notification is displayed in response to activation of an accessory associated with the source of video data (e.g., a notification associated with a front door camera is displayed in response to activation of the front doorbell).

At block 904, the device detects a first user input (e.g., 850 a, 850 c) corresponding to selection of the first affordance. In some embodiments, the device detects the first user input corresponding to selection of the first affordance while displaying the first user interface.

At block 906, the device displays a second user interface (e.g., 802) in response to detecting the first user input. Displaying the second user interface includes displaying at least a second affordance (e.g., 804 a-804 f, 814 a-814 c, 816 a-816 b) representing a first controllable external device of the at least one controllable external device that is associated with the source of video data. In some embodiments, the at least one controllable external device is associated with the source of video data based on at least one of physical proximity to the source of video data (e.g., the accessory and the video source are physically located in the same room or portion of a building), a designated association with the source of video data (e.g., the accessory and the video source are manually associated by a user, such as through an graphical user interface), or common functionality with the source of video data. In some embodiments, the accessory and the video source serve a security function (e.g., a security camera is associated with lights a user may want to turn on and doors that a user may want to lock, even if the camera is not in physical proximity to the camera). Displaying a second affordance representing a first controllable external device that is associated with the source of video data provides the user with feedback that that the second affordance is related to the source of video data that the user is/was viewing. The feedback thus indicates to the user that the second affordance is for controlling the external device associated with the source of video data. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

Optionally, at block 908, the device displays recorded video (e.g., 812) from the source of video data, where the recorded video corresponds to the event associated with the source of video data.

Optionally, at block 910, the device ceases to display the representation of video data (e.g., 800). In some embodiments, in which the representation of video data includes a live video feed, selecting the second affordance (e.g., 636 a) replaces the live video feed with a separate user interface (e.g., 802) with controls for the related accessories (e.g., 804 b-804 f). In some embodiments, in which the representation of video data includes a notification, the notification is removed when the second affordance is selected. Ceasing to display the representation of video data helps to prevent diverting the user's focus or attention when the user is interacting with the user interface. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

At block 912, the device detects a selection (e.g., 850 b) of the second affordance representing the first controllable external device.

At block 914, the device initiates a process for controlling the first controllable external device (e.g., garage camera) in response to detecting the selection of the second affordance representing the first controllable external device. In some embodiments, initiating a process allows for either controlling the external device directly in response to selection of the affordance or intervening steps (e.g., displaying a menu of accessory states that can then be selected to control the accessory).

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 900 (e.g., FIG. 9) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 900 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to methods 700, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, 2100, 2300, 2500, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can provide the live video feed in method 700. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 10A-10J illustrate exemplary user interfaces for displaying and navigating video (e.g., live or recorded) from multiple sources of video data (e.g., multiple cameras), in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 11A-11C.

FIG. 10A illustrates device 600 displaying home user interface 604 of the application for managing devices associated with a location 123 Main St. (as illustrated and described above in reference to FIG. 6A). In some embodiments, home user interface 604 is displayed in accordance with a determination that device 600 is oriented in a portrait orientation (e.g., upright orientation).

As illustrated in FIG. 10B, in accordance with a determination that device 600 is oriented in a landscape orientation (e.g., in response to device 600 being physically rotated from the portrait orientation in FIG. 10A to the landscape orientation in FIG. 10B), device 600 displays user interface 1000 focused on the sources of video data (e.g., Cameras 1-6). As illustrated in FIG. 10B, user interface 1000 includes camera representations 1010 a-1010 f (e.g., images) for the sources of video data represented in FIG. 10A. In some embodiments, camera representations 1010 are enlarged and rotated versions of camera representations 610 illustrated in FIG. 10A.

In some embodiments, device 600 detects a change in orientation (e.g., from portrait orientation to landscape orientation), and in response, replaces user interface 604 with user interface 1000. In some embodiments, device 600 detects a change in orientation (e.g., from landscape orientation to portrait orientation), and in response, replaces user interface 1000 with user interface 604.

Camera representations 1010 a-1010 f include status indicators 1012 a-1012 f for each source of video data to indicate an operational mode associated with the respective source. Status indicators 1012 a, 1012 b, 1012 d, and 1012 f indicate that the corresponding sources of data are set to operate in a “stream” mode in which the source provides a live video feed (the live video feed will not be recorded); status indicator 1012 c indicates that the corresponding source of data is set to operate in a “stream and record” mode in which the source provides a live video feed that will be recorded according to certain criteria; and status indicator 1012 e indicates that the corresponding source of data is set to operate in an “off” mode in which the corresponding source provides no live video feed. Since the source corresponding to image 1012 e “off”, the image is greyed out or blurred and includes an icon of a camera with a line through it to indicate that no live video is currently available (e.g., the image is a blurred image of the most recent frame of video captured by the source).

As illustrated in FIG. 10B, user interface 1000 also includes composite scrubber bar 1020. Composite scrubber bar 1020 includes an interactive, elongated region on the display that includes a representation of media content that can be scrolled along the direction parallel to direction of elongation. In some embodiments, the media content (e.g., the video) can be played back at arbitrary and variable rates based on a characteristic (e.g., the speed of a received user input). Composite scrubber bar 1020 is capable of including representations of media content from one or more of the sources of video data available to device 600. As illustrated in FIG. 10B, composite scrubber bar 1020 includes composite clip representations 1024 a and 1024 b. In some embodiments, a composite clip representation represents recorded video from more than one source. Composite clip representation 1024 a represents a recorded clip of video from only Camera 6 (garage camera), and composite clip representation 1024 b represents both a recorded clip of video from Camera 1 (front door camera) and a recorded clip of video from Camera 4 (kids room camera). In FIG. 10B, composite clip representation 1024 b represents recorded video from both Camera 1 and source 4 by including thumbnail 1024 b-1 of a recorded image from Camera 1 and thumbnail 1024 b-2 of a recorded image from Camera 4. In some embodiments, a composite clip representation in scrubber bar 1020 represents an uninterrupted duration of time during which recorded video is available from at least one source (e.g., there is no time represented by the composite clip representation at which recorded video is available for none of the sources). In some embodiments, scrubber bar 1020 includes some or all of the features of scrubber bar 620. For example, as new recorded clips of video from any of the sources of video associated with the location become available, the recorded clips are received by device 600 and a corresponding composite clip representation of the newly recorded clip is added to scrubber bar 1020 (e.g., similar to the technique described with reference to FIGS. 6C-6E). In some embodiments, the newly recorded clip is represented separately from any existing composite clip representation(s) of video content from the video sources (e.g., if no other sources were recording video while the newly recorded clip of video was recorded). In some embodiments, an existing composite clip representation of recorded video content is modified to represent the newly recorded clip of video (e.g., if the newly recorded clip of video overlaps with a recording from another source).

In some embodiments, composite clip representations 1024 include some or all of the features of clip representations 624. As illustrated in FIG. 10C, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1050 a (e.g., a tap) on scrubber bar 1020 at composite clip representation 1024 b). In some embodiments, user input 1050 a includes a swipe on display 602 (e.g., a left-to-right swipe on the area including the live video feeds or on scrubber bar 1020).

In response to receiving user input 1050 a, device 600 displays images from the cameras, where the images correspond to a time associated with user input 1050 a and updates scrubber bar 1020 to reflect the selected time.

As illustrated in FIG. 10D, device 600 replaces the live video feeds of Cameras 1-6 with images associated with Cameras 1-6 from the time at which the video clip corresponding to clip representation 1024 b was recorded. Image 1010 d includes the clip corresponding to composite clip representation 1024 b. Recorded video from Camera 1 and Camera 6 associated with images 1010 a and 1010 f is also available for the selected time (e.g., January 28 at 7:08 PM), so images 1010 a and 1010 f are also replaced with the recorded video from the respective cameras. No recorded video is available from Cameras 2, 3, and 5 associated with images 1010 b, 1010 c, and 1010 e at the selected time (e.g., Cameras 2, 3, and 5 were not providing live video at the selected time or were providing live video that was not being recorded), so images 1010 b, 1010 c, and 1010 e are replaced with indications that no recording is available.

As illustrated in FIG. 10D, composite scrubber bar 1020 is updated (e.g., scrolled) to align the portion of composite scrubber bar 1020 corresponding to the displayed images with current display indicator 1022. Device 600 also displays date and time indicator 1028 above composite scrubber bar 1020 to indicate the date and time at which the displayed images were recorded.

As illustrated in FIG. 10D, user interface 1000 includes “LIVE” affordance 1036. Compared to FIGS. 10B-10C, “LIVE” affordance 1036 is altered (e.g., greyed out) to indicate that the displayed images in FIG. 10D are not live video feeds. In some embodiments, device 600 receives an input corresponding to selection of “LIVE” affordance 1036, and in response, returns to live video feeds from the cameras for which live video feeds are available and updates scrubber bar 1020 to indicate that the displayed video(s) are live video feeds.

In some embodiments, user interface 1000 is scrolled to display one or more images from additional sources of video (e.g., cameras) available to device 600. As illustrated in FIG. 10E, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1050 b (e.g., right-to-left swipe on display 602). As illustrated in FIG. 10F, in response to receiving user input 1050 b, device 600 scrolls user interface 1000, including images 1010 a-1010 f, and displays (e.g., reveals) image 1010 g corresponding to a seventh source of video data (e.g., Camera 7, office camera) available to device 600.

In some embodiments, composite scrubber bar 1020 is scrolled to advance to a different time. As illustrated in FIG. 10G, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1050 c (e.g., a right-to-left swipe on scrubber bar 1020) corresponding to selection of a time after the time associated with the currently displayed images (January 28, 7:09 PM). As illustrated in FIG. 10H, device 600 replaces the images displayed in FIG. 10G with images from the respective cameras corresponding to the newly selected time (January 28, 7:29 PM). Device 600 also updates composite scrubber bar 1020 to reflect the newly selected time (January 28, 7:29 PM). As indicated by composite scrubber bar 1020, the newly selected time is a later time represented within composite clip representation 1024 a. As illustrated in FIG. 10H, recorded video from Cameras 3, 6, and 7 is available at the newly selected time (January 28, 7:29 PM).

In some embodiments, an image 1010 can be selected to display a user interface dedicated to the source corresponding to the selected image (e.g., images 1010 a-1010 g and composite scrubber bar 1020 are replaced with an image from the selected source and a scrubber bar (e.g., 620) representing media content from only the selected source). As illustrated in FIG. 10I, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1050 d (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of image 1010 g. As illustrated in FIG. 10J, in response to receiving user input 1050 d, device 600 displays user interface 1002, which includes, inter alia, an enlarged version of the recorded video from Camera 7 at the time corresponding to FIG. 10I (January 28 at 7:29 PM) and scrubber bar 1040 including representations 1044 a-1044 c of recorded clips of video from only Camera 7. In some embodiments, user interface 1002 is analogous to user interface 608 of FIG. 6G. For example, the controls on user interface 1002 (e.g., scrubber bar 1040, date bar 1060, “LIVE” affordance 1062, etc.) can be used to navigate video (e.g., live or recorded) from Camera 7. Similarly, referring back to, e.g., FIG. 10B, in response to selection of, e.g., image 1010 a, device 600 displays a user interface analogous to FIG. 6B, including, inter alia, an enlarged display of a live video feed from Camera 1 and a scrubber bar including representations of recorded clips of video from only Camera 1 and indicating that the displayed video is a live video feed.

FIGS. 11A-11C are a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying and navigating video (e.g., live or recorded) from multiple sources of video data (e.g., multiple cameras) using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1100 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 1100 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 1100 provides an intuitive way for displaying and navigating video (e.g., live or recorded) from multiple sources of video data (e.g., multiple cameras). The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for displaying and navigating video (e.g., live or recorded) from multiple sources of video data (e.g., multiple cameras), thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to display and navigate video (e.g., live or recorded) from multiple sources of video data (e.g., multiple cameras) faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 1102, the device displays, at a first time, a user interface (e.g., 1000) that includes a first live video feed (e.g., 1010 a-1010 f) from a first source at a first location of the user interface, a second live video feed (e.g., 1010 a-1010 f) from a second source at a second location of the user interface, and a scrubber bar (e.g., 1020) including a representation (e.g., 1024 a, 1024 b) (e.g., a rounded rectangle or shaded area of the scrubber bar) of recorded video content from at least one of the first source or the second source. In some embodiments, a scrubber bar is an interactive, elongated region on the display that includes a representation of media content that can be scrolled along the direction parallel to direction of elongation. In some embodiments, the media content (e.g., the video) can be played back at arbitrary and variable rates based on a characteristic (e.g., the speed of a received user input). In some embodiments, the representation of recorded video content has a visual width in the scrubber bar that is proportional to a duration of the recorded video content. In some embodiments, the scrubber bar further includes an indication of a period of time during which recorded video is not available. In some embodiments, the periods of time during which no recorded video is available from any source are indicated by spaces (e.g., uniform color or dots) between representations of recorded video content. In some embodiments, the indication of the period of time during which recorded video is not available is independent from the duration of the period of time. In some embodiments, the distance on the scrubber bar between two representations of recorded video content is independent from the amount of time that no recorded video content is available (e.g., the distance is fixed). In some embodiments, the distance on the scrubber bar between two representations of recorded video content is variable (e.g., the distance is based on (e.g., is directly proportional to) the amount of time that no recorded video content is available. In some embodiments, the scrubber bar further includes an indication of a boundary between a first day and a second day. In some embodiments, the boundary between two days is indicated by a vertical line on or through the scrubber bar. In some embodiments, the user interface further includes an indication of an operational state of the first source and an indication of an operational state of the second source. In some embodiments, the operational state of a source is one of “off” (not streaming or recording), “live” (streaming, but will not record), and “record” (streaming and will record, e.g., if motion is detected).

At block 1104, the device detects a user input (e.g., 1050 a) (e.g., a right swipe on the scrubber bar or a tap on a clip). In some embodiments, the device detects the user input while displaying the user interface. In some embodiments, the user input includes a swipe on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the swipe is a left-to-right swipe on a touch-sensitive display (e.g., on the live video feed or on the scrubber bar). In some embodiments, the second time is based on a length or velocity of the swipe (e.g., a shorter or slower swipe will display more recently recorded content than a longer or faster swipe). In some embodiments, the user input includes a tap on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device, the tap having a location on the scrubber bar corresponding to the second time.

In response to detecting the user input (e.g., 1050 a), the device performs the operations of blocks 1106, 1108, and 1110. At block 1106, the device replaces the first live video feed (e.g., 1010 f of FIG. 10B) with a first image associated with the first source at the first location of the user interface (e.g., 1010 f of FIG. 10D). The first image is associated with data from the first source at a second time that is before the first time. In some embodiments, the image associated with the first source is a frame of recorded video captured by the first source at the second time. In some embodiments, the image associated with the first source is a “placeholder image” (e.g., 1010 b of FIG. 10D) that indicates that there is no recorded video data available from the first source corresponding to the second time. In some embodiments, in accordance with recorded video from the first source at the second time not being available (e.g., the first source did not provide recorded video at the second time), the first image is blurry. In some embodiments, the first image is a blurred image of the most recent frame of video captured by the first source. Replacing the first live video feed with a first image associated with the first source provides the user with feedback regarding the current state of the media content being displayed on the device. The feedback indicates to the user that the user is no longer viewing the live video feed for the first source. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

At block 1108, the device replaces the second live video feed (e.g., 1010 d of FIG. 10B) with a second image associated with the second source at the second location of the user interface (e.g., 1010 d of FIG. 10D). The second image is associated with data from the second source at the second time. In some embodiments, the image associated with the second source is a frame of recorded video captured by the second source at the second time. In some embodiments, the image associated with the second source is a “placeholder image” (e.g., 1010 e of FIG. 10D) that indicates that there is no recorded video data available from the second source corresponding to the second time. Replacing the second live video feed with a second image associated with the second source provides the user with feedback regarding the current state of the media content being displayed on the device. The feedback indicates to the user that the user is no longer viewing the live video feed for the second source. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

At block 1110, the device updates the scrubber bar to indicate the portion of the representation of the recorded video content that corresponds to the second time. In some embodiments, a pointer element (e.g., 1022) is moved to the portion of the scrubber bar corresponding to the second time. In some embodiments, the representation of the video content in the scrubber bar is scrolled such that the representation corresponding to the second time is displayed at a fixed position (e.g., the center) in the scrubber bar. In some embodiments, updating the scrubber bar includes translating the representation of recorded video content. Updating the scrubber bar to indicate the portion of the representation of the recorded video content that corresponds to the second time provides the user with feedback as to the current state of the media content being displayed on the device. The feedback indicates to the user that the user is no longer viewing the live video feed. Additionally, the feedback indicates to the user that the user is able to control the content being displayed by interacting with the scrubber bar. Further, the feedback indicates to the user the approximate date/time the clip was recorded as it is shown in a position that is relative to the other clips in the scrubber bar. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, further in response to detecting the user input, the device displays an affordance (e.g., 1036) (block 1112). In some embodiments, the affordance is a “LIVE” icon (e.g., 1036), e.g., displayed adjacent to the scrubber bar. Optionally, at block 1114, the device detects a second user input (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of the affordance (e.g., 1036). Optionally, in response to detecting the second user input corresponding to selection of the affordance, the device performs the operations of blocks 1116, 1118, and 1120. At block 1116, the device replaces the first image associated with the first (e.g., 1010 f of FIG. 10D) source with the first live video feed from the first source (e.g., 1010 f of FIG. 10B). At block 1118, the device replaces the second image associated with the second source (e.g., 1010 d in FIG. 10D) with the second live video feed (e.g., 1010 d of FIG. 10B). At block 1120, the device updates the scrubber bar to indicate that the first live video feed and second live video feed are displayed (e.g., FIG. 10B). In some embodiments, the content in the scrubber bar is scrolled to the left. In some embodiments, an indicator is moved to the right. Displaying an affordance (e.g., “LIVE” icon) provides a user with feedback as to the current state of the media content being displayed on the device. In particular, the affordance provides feedback to the user that the user is no longer viewing live content, and that the user can switch back to the live content by selecting the affordance. Further, replacing the first and second images with the first and second live video feed, respectively, and/or updating the scrubber bar provides the user with feedback regarding the current state of the media content being displayed on the device. The feedback indicates to the user that the user is now viewing a live video feed. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

Optionally, at block 1122, the device detects a third user input (e.g., 1050 c) (e.g., a right-to-left swipe on the display). Optionally, at block 1124, the device displays a third image associated with a third source that is not represented on the user interface at the first time in response to detecting the third user input. In some embodiments, if the number of sources of video data exceeds the number of images displayed on the first user interface, the user interface is scrollable to display an image (e.g., a live video feed or recorded image) from a source not initially represented on the user interface.

Optionally, at block 1126, the device detects a fourth user input (e.g., 1050 d) corresponding to selection of the first location of the user interface. In some embodiments, the fourth user input is a contact (e.g., a single tap, a double tap, or a press with a characteristic intensity that exceeds a threshold intensity) on the first live video feed or the first image (e.g., 1010 g) associated with the first source. Optionally, at block 1128, the device enlarges the first live video feed from the first source or the first image associated with data from the first source at the second time in response to detecting the fourth user input. In some embodiments, images from all other sources are removed from the display. In some embodiments, a scrubber bar (e.g., 1040) representing content from the first source is displayed (e.g., the composite scrubber bar is replaced with a scrubber bar solely for the first source).

Optionally, at block 1130, the device receives (e.g., after the first time) data representing a first recorded clip of video from the first source. Optionally, at block 1132, the device updates the scrubber bar (e.g., 1020) to represent the first recorded clip of video (e.g., 1024 a) in response to receiving the data representing the first recorded clip of video from the first source. In some embodiments, the first recorded clip of video is represented separately from the existing representation(s) of video content from the video sources (e.g., if no other sources were recording video while the first recorded clip of video was recorded). In some embodiments, an existing representation of recorded video content is modified to represent the first recorded clip of video (e.g., if the first recorded clip of video overlaps with a recording from another source).

Optionally, at block 1134, the device detects a rotation of the electronic device (e.g., a rotation from landscape orientation to portrait orientation). Optionally, at block 1136, the device replaces the user interface (e.g., 1000) with a second user interface (e.g., 604) in response to detecting the rotation of the electronic device, where the second user interface includes the live video feed from the first source and information associated with a location associated with the first source. In some embodiments, the second user interface is a home or status screen of the location associated with the first and second sources, which includes location information or accessory status (e.g., lights ON/OFF, doors locked/unlocked, etc.). Replacing the user interface with a second user interface in response to detecting the rotation of the device provides the user with more control of the device by providing access to an alternative user interface without having to select a displayed user interface element. Providing additional control of the device without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1100 (e.g., FIGS. 11A-11C) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 1100 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to methods 700, 900, 1300, 1500, 1700, 2100, 2300, 2500, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can provide the live video feed in method 1100. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 12A-12T illustrate exemplary user interfaces for configuring a source of video data for different contexts, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIG. 13.

FIG. 12A illustrates device 600 displaying user interface 604 (e.g., FIG. 6A). As illustrated in FIG. 12A, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 a (e.g., a left swipe in the area of display 602 corresponding to camera images 610). As illustrated in FIG. 12B, in response to receiving user input 1250 a, device 600 scrolls camera images 610 to fully reveal image 610 c (which is partially hidden in FIG. 12A) and to display image 610 g (which is completely hidden in FIG. 12A). As illustrated in FIG. 12C, device receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 b (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of image 610 c representing the Camera 3, the living room camera. As illustrated in FIG. 12D, in response to receiving user input 1250 b, device 600 displays individual camera user interface 1200 for the living room camera. Individual camera user interface 1200 is analogous to individual camera user interface 608 for the front door camera illustrated in, e.g., FIG. 6B.

Individual camera user interface 1200 includes settings affordance 1202. As illustrated in FIG. 12D, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 c (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of settings affordance 1202.

In response to receiving user input 1250 c, device 600 displays a settings user interface for the source of video data (e.g., Camera 3) associated with user interface 1200. As illustrated in FIG. 12E, device 600 displays settings user interface 1204. Settings user interface 1204 includes, inter alia, a graphical representation, a name, and a location associated with the camera. Settings user interface 1204 also includes affordance 1206 for designating the camera (e.g., as a favorite accessory). In some embodiments, in accordance with Camera 3 being designated (e.g., the toggle button of affordance 1206 is positioned to the right), device 600 displays a representation of Camera 3 on home user interface 604. In some embodiments, in accordance with Camera 3 not being designated (e.g., the toggle button of affordance 1206 is positioned to the left), device 600 does not display a representation of Camera 3 on home user interface 604.

Settings user interface 1204 also includes affordance 1208 for displaying settings of the Camera 3 related to streaming and recording, affordance 1210 for displaying settings related to data storage (e.g., storage of recordings of video from Camera 3 and other sources), and affordance 1212 for displaying settings related to status and notifications associated with Camera 3.

As illustrated in FIG. 12F, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 d (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1208. As illustrated in FIG. 12G, in response to receiving user input 1250 d, device 600 displays streaming and recording user interface 1214. Streaming and recording user interface 1214 includes affordances 1216 a-1216 c associated with a first context in which at least one person associated with the location of the source of video data is determined to be present at the location (e.g., anyone is home). Streaming and recording user interface 1214 also includes affordances 1218 a-1218 c associated with a second context in which no person associated with the location of the source of video data is determined to be present at the location (e.g., no one is home). In some embodiments, the first context and the second context are predetermined. In some embodiments, the presence of a person at a location is determined based on detecting that a device (e.g., a smartphone) that is associated with that person is at the location. In some embodiments, determining whether a person is present at a location based on the location of two or more devices that are associated with that person. For example, a person associated with more than one device is considered to be away from a location if any one of the devices is determined to be away from the location.

Affordances 1216 a-1216 c correspond to respective available operational modes (e.g., camera off, stream video, stream and record video) of the source of video data in the first context. Affordances 1218 a-1218 c correspond to respective available operational modes (e.g., camera off, stream video, stream and record video) of the source of video data in the second context. In some embodiments, the available operational modes are predetermined. As illustrated in FIG. 12G, operational mode “OFF” is selected as a default mode for the first context and the second context, as indicated by check mark indicators 1220 a and 1220 b, respectively.

As illustrated in FIG. 12H, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 e (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1216 b and operational mode “STREAM” for the first context. As illustrated in FIG. 12I, in response to receiving user input 1250 e, device 600 moves check mark affordance 1220 a from “OFF” to “STREAM”.

As illustrated in FIG. 12I, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 f (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1218 c and operational mode “STREAM & RECORD” for the second context. As illustrated in FIG. 12J, in response to receiving user input 1250 f, device 600 moves check mark affordance 1220 b from “OFF” to “STREAM & RECORD”.

In some embodiments, device 600 provides the capability to select an exception to the first context or the second context. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12K, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 g (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1222 (“IGNORE MOTION IN SOME AREAS”) on user interface 1214. In response to receiving user input 1250 g, device 600 displays a user interface for selecting an exception to the first context or the second context. As illustrated in FIG. 12L, in response to receiving user input 1250 g, device 600 displays user interface 1224 (e.g., replaces user interface 1214 with user interface 1224). User interface 1224 includes field of view 1226 of the living room camera. In some embodiments, displayed field of view 1226 includes a captured still image or a live video stream of the field of view.

In some embodiments, device 600 receives an input corresponding to a selection of a portion of the field of view. As illustrated in FIGS. 12M-12O, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) a contact 1250 h that moves along path 1228 (e.g., a freeform path) on display 602. Contact 1250 h corresponds to selection of the portion 1230 of the field of view bounded by path 1228, as illustrated in FIG. 12P. In some embodiments, a rectangular portion of the field of view is selected by a sequence of one or more user inputs corresponding to selection of a first corner of the rectangular portion and a second corner of the rectangular portion diagonal to the first corner.

As illustrated in FIG. 12P, in response to contact 1250 h ceasing to be detected on display 602, device 600 visually distinguishes selected portion 1230 from the rest of field of view 1226. In some embodiments, device detects selection of two or more distinct portions of the field of view (e.g., by detecting two or more distinct contacts). In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 12M-12P, the exception to the first context or the second context is based on the selected portion(s) of the field of view.

In some embodiments, the exception applies to a particular operational mode. As indicated in FIGS. 12M-12P, the exception applies to the “STREAM & RECORD” mode. In some embodiments, according to the “STREAM & RECORD” mode, access is provided to a live video stream from the corresponding source of video data, and the video is recorded if an event (e.g., motion) is detected in the captured video.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 12M-12P, the exception includes not operating the living room camera according to the “STREAM & RECORD” mode if the exception is met such that video is not recorded in response to an event (e.g., motion) detected in the selected portion of the field of view, even if the “STREAM & RECORD” mode is selected and the corresponding context applies (e.g., STREAM & RECORD” mode is selected for the first context and someone is determined to be present at the location). In some embodiments, the exception does not apply to at least one operational mode. In the illustrated embodiment, the “OFF” and “STREAM” modes do not depend on whether activity (e.g., motion) is detected and thus are not affected by the exception.

As illustrated in FIG. 12Q, after the portion(s) of the field of view are selected, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 i (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “DONE” affordance 1232. As illustrated in FIG. 12R, in response to receiving user input 1250 i, device 600 returns to user interface 1214.

As illustrated in FIG. 12R, device receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 j (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “DONE” affordance 1234. As illustrated in FIG. 12S, in response to receiving user input 1250 j, device 600 displays menu 1236 to confirm that the living room camera will operate according to a selected mode (e.g., “STREAM & RECORD”) and that the first context and second context will be based on the location of device 600 relative to an external device (e.g., the user's presence at the location will be determined based on the location of device 600 relative to the external device). In some embodiments, the external device is a hub device (e.g., AppleTV or an iPad). In some embodiments, the hub device stores device or user profiles or sends control instructions (e.g., commands) to the source of video data.

As illustrated in FIG. 12S, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1250 k (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “OK” affordance 1238. In the illustrated embodiment, in response to user input 1250 k, device 600 sends instructions to set a configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected operational mode for the first context (e.g., “STREAM”) and the selected operational mode for the second context (e.g., “STREAM & RECORD”) (e.g., based on user input 1250 e and user input 1250 f).

In the illustrated embodiment, in response to user input 1250 k, device 600 also sends data representing the selected exception (e.g., device 600 sends instructions to set the configuration profile of the source of video data to operate according to the selected exception). In some embodiments, device 600 sends the instructions to set a configuration profile of the source of video data and/or the data representing the selected exception in response to receiving user input 1250 i, user input 1250 j, or user input 1250 k. In some embodiments, the instructions to set a configuration profile of the source of video data and/or the data representing the selected exception are sent to an external device other than the first controllable external device. In some embodiments, the instructions to set a configuration profile of the source of video data and/or the data representing the selected exception are sent to the hub device (e.g., AppleTV or an iPad).

As illustrated in FIG. 12T, in response to user input 1250 k, device 600 displays (e.g., returns to) settings user interface 1204.

FIG. 13 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for configuring a source of video data for different contexts using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1300 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 1300 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 1300 provides an intuitive way for configuring a source of video data for different contexts. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for configuring a source of video data for different contexts, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to configure a source of video data for different contexts faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 1302, the device displays a user interface (e.g., 1214) that includes a first plurality of affordances (e.g., 1216 a-1216 c) associated with a first context (e.g., anyone is home) and a second plurality of affordances (e.g., 1218 a-1218 c) associated with a second context (e.g., no one is home), where the first plurality of affordances corresponds to respective available operational modes (e.g., camera off, stream video, stream and record video) of a first controllable external device (e.g., a camera) in the first context and the second plurality of affordances corresponding to respective available operational modes (e.g., camera off, stream video, stream and record video) of the first controllable external device in the second context. In some embodiments, the first context and the second context are predetermined. In some embodiments, the first context is based on the presence of a person at a location associated with the first controllable external device. In some embodiments, the first context is that at least one person is determined to be at the location. In some embodiments, the second context is based on the presence of a person at the location associated with the first controllable external device. In some embodiments, the second context is that no person is determined to be at the location. In some embodiments, the presence of a person is determined based on detecting that a device (e.g., a smartphone) that is associated with that person is at the location.) In some embodiments, the presence of the person at the location is determined based on the location of a first electronic device associated with the person and the location of a second electronic device associated with the person. In some embodiments, a person associated with more than one electronic device is considered to be away from a location if any one of the devices is determined to be away from the location. In some embodiments, the available operational modes of the first controllable external device in the first context are predetermined operational modes. In some embodiments, the available operation modes of the first controllable external device in the second context are predetermined modes. Displaying a first plurality of affordances and a second plurality of affordances that both correspond to a controllable external device provides a user with the ability to configure the external device for different contexts via a single user interface. Further, presenting the different contexts in a single user interface indicates to the user that these different contexts are associated with the same external device. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

At block 1304, the device detects (e.g., while displaying the first user interface) a first user input (e.g., 1250 e) at a location on the display corresponding to a first affordance in the first plurality of affordances, where the first affordance corresponds to a first operational mode of the respective available operational modes of the first controllable external device in the first context.

At block 1306, the device detects (e.g., while displaying the first user interface) a second user input (e.g., 1250 f) at a location on the display corresponding to a second affordance in the second plurality of affordances, where the second affordance corresponding to a second operational mode of the respective available operational modes of the first controllable external device in the second context.

Optionally, at block 1308, the device detects a third user input (e.g., 1250 g) representing selection of an exception to the first context or the second context. In some embodiments, the exception applies to a particular operational mode (e.g., for the “stream and record” mode, video is not recorded if the exception is met (e.g., motion is detected in a designated area), even if the first or second context applies. In some embodiments, the exception does not apply to at least one operational mode (e.g., the “Off” and “Stream” modes do not depend on whether motion is detected in a designated area).

In some embodiments, the first controllable external device includes a video camera. Optionally, at block 1310, the device displays a field of view (e.g., 1226) of the video camera, where the third user input includes selection of a portion of the field of view. In some embodiments, the displayed field of view includes a captured image or a live video stream of the field of view. In some embodiments, the third user input includes a free form input (e.g., 1250 h) encompassing the portion of the field of view. In some embodiments, the third user input includes selection of a rectangular portion of the field of view by selection of a first corner of the rectangular portion and a second corner of the rectangular portion diagonal to the first corner. In some embodiments, the exception to the first context or the second context includes not operating the first controllable external device according to the first operational mode in the first context or not operating the first controllable external device according to the second operational mode in the second context in response to an event detected in the selected portion of the field of view.

Optionally, at block 1312, the device sends data representing the selected exception (e.g., send instructions to set the configuration profile of the first controllable external device to operate according to the selected exception.

At block 1314, the device sends (e.g., after detecting the first user input and the second user input) instructions to, based on the first user input (e.g., 1250 e) and the second user input (e.g., 1250 f), set a configuration profile of the first controllable external device according to the first operational mode for the first context and the second operational mode for the second context. In some embodiments, the instructions are sent to an external device other than the first controllable external device. In some embodiments, the instructions are sent to a hub device (e.g., Apple TV or an iPad). In some embodiments, the hub device stores device or user profiles or sends control instructions (e.g., commands) to the first controllable external device.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1300 (e.g., FIG. 13) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 1300 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to methods 700, 900, 1100, 1500, 1700, 2100, 2300, 2500, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can be the controllable external device of method 1300 for which a configuration profile is set. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 14A-14W illustrate exemplary user interfaces for configuring a source of video data (e.g., a camera), in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 15A-15B.

FIG. 14A illustrates device 600 displaying home user interface 604. Device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 a (e.g., tap) corresponding to selection of add accessory affordance 606. As illustrated in FIG. 14B, in response to receiving user input 1450 a, device 600 displays prompt 1402 for data (e.g., a code) identifying a new source of video data (e.g., a new camera). As illustrated in FIG. 14B, prompt 1402 directs a user to scan or manually enter a code (e.g., an alphanumeric code or quick response code on a device or packaging of the device that identifies the type of device or the specific device). As illustrated in FIG. 14B, device 600 also activates an image sensor (e.g., camera) on device 600 and displays image 1404 captured by the image sensor that includes a portion of code 1406 for the new source of video data.

As illustrated in FIG. 14C, device 600 receives code 1406 (e.g., code 1406 is automatically identified when the entire code is positioned within the field of view of the image sensor). As illustrated in FIG. 14D, in response to receiving code 1406, device 600 displays user interface 1408 indicating that the new source of video data is being added to the location (123 Main St.).

After the new source of video data is added, device 600 displays a menu for selecting one or more operational states of the source of video data, where the one or more operational states are associated with respective contexts. As illustrated in FIG. 14E, after the new source of video data is added, device 600 displays user interface 1410, which includes a menu with affordances 1412 a-1412 c and 1414 a-1414 c for selecting two operational states of the source of video data—one operational state for a first context (e.g., when anyone is home) and one operational state for a second context (e.g., when no one is home). In some embodiments, the context(s) are predetermined. As illustrated in FIG. 14E, the operational states and contexts are the same as in user interface 1214 in FIG. 12G. In some embodiments, device 600 provides different operational states and/or contexts than user interface 1214 in FIG. 12G.

As illustrated in FIG. 14F, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 b (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1412 b representing an operational state for the first context and receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 c (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1414 c representing an operational state for the second context. As illustrated in FIG. 14G, in response to receiving user inputs 1450 b and 1450 c, device 600 displays check mark indicators 1416 a and 1416 b to indicate that the operational states “STREAM” and “STREAM & RECORD” have been selected for the first context and second context, respectively.

In FIG. 14H, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 d (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “NEXT” affordance 1418. As illustrated in FIG. 14I, in response to receiving user input 1450 d, device 600 displays user interface 1420 including a menu for selecting a duration for storing video data from the source of video data.

As illustrated in FIG. 14J, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 e (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1422 b representing a duration of 1 week for storing video data from the source of video data. As illustrated in FIG. 14K, in response to receiving user input 1450 e, device 600 displays check mark indicator 1424 to indicate that the duration “1 WEEK” has been selected.

As illustrated in FIG. 14L, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 f (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “NEXT” affordance 1426. As illustrated in FIG. 14M, in response to receiving user input 1450 f, device 600 displays menu 1428 to confirm that the source of video data will operate according to a selected mode (e.g., “STREAM & RECORD”) and that the first context and second context will be based on the location of device 600 relative to an external device (e.g., the user's presence at the location will be determined based on the location of device 600 relative to the external device). In some embodiments, the external device is a hub device (e.g., AppleTV or an iPad). In some embodiments, the hub device stores device or user profiles or sends control instructions (e.g., commands) to the source of video data.

As illustrated in FIG. 14M, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 g (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “OK” affordance 1430. In the illustrated embodiment, in response to receiving user input 1450 g, device 600 sends instructions to set a configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected operational state(s) and the selected duration for storing video data from the source of video data in accordance with the first user input and the second user input. In some embodiments, the instructions are sent to an external device other than the source of video data. In some embodiments, the instructions are sent to a hub device (e.g., AppleTV or an iPad). In some embodiments, the hub device stores device or user profiles or sends control instructions (e.g., commands) to the source of video data.

As illustrated in FIG. 14N, in response to receiving user input 1450 g, device 600 displays settings user interface 1432, analogous to settings user interface 1204 for the living room camera illustrated in FIG. 12E.

In some embodiments, device 600 provides an option for a user to view information related to available features of the source of video data. As illustrated in FIG. 14O, device 600 displays user interface 1434, with affordance 1436, indicating that information related to available features of the source of video data is available. In some embodiments, device 600 displays user interface 1434 after the new source of video data is added to the profile associated with the location (e.g., after displaying user interface 1408 illustrated in FIG. 14D) or after (e.g., in response to) receiving user input 1450 g corresponding to selection of “OK” affordance 1430 (e.g., before displaying settings user interface 1432 illustrated in FIG. 14N). In some embodiments, affordance 1436 is displayed in a pop-up menu.

In some embodiments, user interface 1434 is displayed in accordance with a determination that no other sources of video data are associated with device 600 or an account (e.g., location profile) associated with device 600 (e.g., it is the first camera being added by the user). In some embodiments, user interface 1434 is displayed if new features have become available since the last time a source of video data was associated with the electronic device or an account associated with the electronic device. In some embodiments, user interface 1434 also includes affordance 1438 to bypass display of information related to the available features.

As illustrated in FIG. 14O, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 h (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1436. As illustrated in FIG. 14P, in response to receiving user input 1450 h, device 600 displays user interface 1440 for obtaining and/or updating software for one or more sources of video data (e.g., in order to access new of additional features). User interface 1440 includes affordance 1442A for getting software for the camera “HOME CAMERA” and affordance 1442 b for updating software for camera “HOUSE CAM.” In some embodiments, user interface 1440 and/or affordances 1443A and 1443B are displayed in accordance with a determination that a software update is available for the source of video data (e.g., based on the identifying data). As illustrated in FIG. 14Q, affordance 1444 to bypass updating software is also displayed.

As illustrated in FIG. 14Q, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 i (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1442A. As illustrated in FIG. 14R, in response to receiving user input 1450 i, device 600 obtains software for camera “HOME CAMERA.”

As illustrated in FIG. 14R, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 j (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “NEXT” affordance 1443. As illustrated in FIG. 14S, after the software has been updated, device 600 displays user interface 1446 indicating that the cameras have been updated.

As illustrated in FIG. 14T, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450 k (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “NEXT” affordance 1448. In response to receiving user input 1450 k, device 600 displays information related to available features of the source of video data. As illustrated in FIG. 14U, in response to receiving user input 1450 k, device 600 displays user interface 1452, which includes descriptions of the operational modes “OFF”, “STREAM”, and “STREAM & RECORD”.

As illustrated in FIG. 14V, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1450L (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “CONTINUE” affordance 1454. As illustrated in FIG. 14W, in response to receiving user input 14501, device 600 displays setting user interface 1432.

FIGS. 15A-15B are a flow diagram illustrating a method for configuring a source of video data (e.g., a camera) using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1500 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 1500 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 1500 provides an intuitive way for configuring a source of video data (e.g., a camera). The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for configuring a source of video data (e.g., a camera), thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to configure a source of video data (e.g., a camera) faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 1502, the device receives data (e.g., 1406) identifying a source of video data (e.g., a newly added camera). In some embodiments, before receiving data identifying the source of video data, the device displays a prompt for the data. In some embodiments, a prompt is displayed for a user to enter a code (e.g., an alphanumeric code) that identifies a type of accessory or a specific device.

At block 1504, the device displays (e.g., after or in response to receiving the data identifying the source of video data) a first user interface (e.g., 1408) including a menu for selecting an operational state of the source of video data, where the operational state is associated with a context (e.g., someone is home, nobody is home, etc.). In some embodiments, the context is predetermined. In some embodiments, the context is that no person is at a location associated with the source of video data or that at least one person is present at the location. In some embodiments, the menu for selecting an operational state of the source of video data includes a plurality of predetermined available operational states (e.g., off, stream, stream & record). In embodiments where the first user interface is displayed automatically in response to receiving the data identifying the source of video data, a user is able to quickly recognize that the configuration process for the source of video data has been initiated. Further, the displaying of the first user interface indicates to the user that the source of video data has been successfully identified by the device. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

At block 1506, the device detects a first user input (e.g., 1450 b, 1450 c) corresponding to a selection of the operational state associated with the context.

At block 1508, the device displays a second user interface (e.g., 1420) including a menu for selecting a duration for storing video data from the source of video data.

At block 1510, the device detects a second user input (e.g., 1450 e) corresponding to a selection of the duration for storing video data from the source of video data.

Optionally, at block 1512 (e.g., after receiving the data identifying the source of video data), the device displays an affordance (e.g., 1436) indicating that information related to available features of the source of video data is available. In some embodiments, the affordance is displayed in accordance with a determination that no other sources of video data are associated with the electronic device. Optionally, at block 1514, the device detects selection (e.g., 1450 h) of the affordance. Optionally, at block 1516, the device displays (e.g., in response to detecting selection of the affordance) the information related to available features of the source of video data. In some embodiments, after selection of the operational state associated with the context and the duration for storing video, the affordance is displayed (e.g., on a separate user interface or a pop-up menu) to provide the user with an option to display the information related to the available features. In some embodiments, the affordance is displayed if no other sources of video data are associated with the electronic device or an account associated with the electronic device (e.g., this is the first camera being added by the user). In some embodiments, the affordance is displayed if new features have become available since the last time a source of video data was associated with the electronic device or an account associated with the electronic device. In some embodiments, an affordance to bypass display of the information related to the available features is displayed.

Optionally, at block 1518 (e.g., after receiving the data identifying the source of video data), the device displays an affordance (e.g., 1442 a, 1442 b) for updating software of the source of video data. In some embodiments, the affordance is displayed in accordance with a determination that a software update is available for the source of video data (e.g., based on the identifying data). In some embodiments, an affordance (e.g., 1444) to bypass updating the software is displayed.

At block 1520, the device sends instructions to set a configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected operational state and the selected duration in accordance with the first user input (e.g., 1450 b, 1450 c) and the second user input (e.g., 1450 e). In some embodiments, the instructions are sent to an external device other than the source of video data. In some embodiments, the instructions are sent to a hub device (e.g., Apple TV or an iPad). In some embodiments, the hub device stores device or user profiles or sends control instructions (e.g., commands) to the source of video data.

Optionally, at block 1522 (e.g., after detecting the first user input and the second user input), the device displays a third user interface (e.g., 1432) including an indication of the source of video data and a settings menu associated with the source of video data. In some embodiments, the third user interface includes a graphical representation, a name, or a location associated with the source of video data. In some embodiments, the third user interface includes an affordance for designating the source of video data (e.g., as a favorite accessory). In some embodiments, the third user interface includes an affordance for accessing the menu for selecting an operational state of the source of video data. In some embodiments, the third user interface includes an affordance for accessing the menu for selecting a duration for storing video data from the source of video data.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1500 (e.g., FIGS. 15A-15B) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 1500 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to methods 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1700, 2100, 2300, 2500, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can be the source of video data described in method 1500. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 16A-16I illustrate exemplary user interfaces for managing a storage resource, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIG. 17.

FIG. 16A illustrates device 600 displaying settings user interface 1432 for the living room camera, as also illustrated in FIGS. 14N and 14W. As illustrated in FIG. 16A, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1650 a (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1600B. As illustrated in FIG. 16B, in response to receiving user input 1650 a, device 600 displays “KEEP RECORDINGS” user interface 1602. User interface 1602 includes affordances 1604 a-1604 d that can be selected to set a duration for which recorded video from the living room camera will be stored. In some embodiments, the storage durations are predetermined. In some embodiments, the recordings of video data from the living room camera are deleted (e.g., automatically) after the storage duration has expired.

User interface 1602 also includes storage resource status bar 1606 representing a status of a storage resource. A storage resource can be a physical storage device, storage associated with a user account (e.g., iCloud), or a portion thereof. As illustrated in FIG. 16B, storage resource bar 1606 includes segments 1606 a-1606 e, where the size of each segment indicates the portion of the storage resource consumed by particular data (e.g., documents, photos, living room recordings, music, and other recordings). In some embodiments, a segment is associated with a particular device or data type (e.g., video data). For example, segment 1605 e is a representation of recorded video data from the living room camera that is stored by the storage resource. In some embodiments, a segment represents a total capacity of the storage resource, a total allocated capacity of the storage resource, an available capacity of the storage resource, an amount of the storage resource allocated to video data associated with the source of video data, an amount of the storage resource allocated to a device other than the source of video data, an amount of the storage resource allocated to all devices other than the source of video data, or an amount of the storage resource allocated to types of data other than video data (e.g., documents, applications, etc.).

User interface 1602 also includes affordance 1608 for deleting, from the storage resource, data associated with the living room camera. As illustrated in FIG. 16C, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1650 b (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1608. In response to receiving user input 1650 b, device 600 initiates a process for deleting, from the storage resource, data that corresponds to the living room camera. In some embodiments, initiating the process for deleting data that corresponds to the living room camera includes displaying a confirmation affordance, which when selected, causes the data corresponding to the living room camera to be deleted from the storage resource. As illustrated in FIG. 16D, in response to receiving user input 1650 b, the data corresponding to the living room camera is caused to be deleted from the storage resource, and segment 1606 e is removed from storage status bar 1606.

As illustrated in FIG. 16E, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1650 c (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of “MANAGE STORAGE” affordance 1610. In response to receiving user input 1650 c, device 600 initiates a process for deleting, from the storage resource, data that does not correspond to the living room camera. As illustrated in FIG. 16F, in response to receiving user input 1650 c, device 600 displays storage user interface 1612. In some embodiments, storage user interface 1612 is displayed in response to selection of storage resource bar 1606 (e.g., storage resource bar 1606 is or includes an affordance). Storage user interface 1612 includes “DELETE ALL” affordance 1614 for deleting recordings associated with all sources of video data associated with device 600 or an account associated with device 600 (e.g., all cameras associated with the location “123 MAIN ST.”).

As illustrated in FIG. 16G, storage user interface 1612 includes affordances 1616A-1616D for accessing storage options associated with other sources of video data. As illustrated in FIG. 16G, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1650 d (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1616C corresponding to a side door camera. As illustrated in FIG. 16H, in response to receiving user input 1650 d, device 600 displays storage settings user interface 1618 for the side door camera. Storage settings user interface 1618 includes affordances 1620 a-1620 d for selecting a storage duration for data associated with the side door camera, storage resource status bar 1622 with segment 1622 a representing recordings of video from the side door camera, and an affordance 1624 for deleting from the storage resource the data that corresponds to the side door camera.

As illustrated in FIG. 16H, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1650 e (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of side door recordings affordance 1626. In some embodiments, user input 1650 e is located on storage resource status bar 1622 and/or segment 1622 a (e.g., storage resource status bar 1622 is or includes an affordance). As illustrated in FIG. 16I, in response to receiving user input 1650 e, device 600 displays user interface 1628 including a list of recordings 1630 a-1630 d of video data from the side door camera.

FIG. 17 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for managing a storage resource using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1700 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 1700 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 1700 provides an intuitive way for managing a storage resource. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a storage resource, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a storage resource faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 1702, the device displays a user interface (e.g., 1602) associated with a source of video data, where the user interface includes a first affordance (e.g., 1606) representing a status of a storage resource and a second affordance (e.g., 1608) for deleting, from the storage resource, data associated with the source of video data, where the first affordance includes a first representation of data stored by the storage resource that corresponds to the source of video data. In some embodiments, the first affordance is a bar with segments, where the size of each segment (e.g., 1606 a-1606 e) indicates the portion of the storage resource consumed by particular data. A storage resource can be a physical storage device, storage associated with a user account (e.g., iCloud), or a portion thereof. In some embodiments, the data is associated with a particular device or data type (e.g., video data). In some embodiments, the user interface includes a menu for selecting a storage duration for recordings of video data from the source of video data. In some embodiments, the recordings of video data from the source of video data are deleted (e.g., automatically) after the storage duration has expired. In some embodiments, the menu includes a plurality of predetermined storage duration options. In some embodiments, the options include 1 day (e.g., 1604 a), 1 week (e.g., 1604 b), 1 month (e.g., 1604 c), or 1 year (e.g., 1604 d). Displaying a user interface with both a representation of a status of the storage resource and a representation of data stored by the storage resource that corresponds to the source of video data provides a user with the ability to quickly discern the impact of the source of video data on the overall storage resource. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the first affordance (e.g., 1606) includes a representation of at least one of: a total capacity of the storage resource, a total allocated capacity of the storage resource, an available capacity of the storage resource, an amount of the storage resource allocated to video data associated with the source of video data, an amount of the storage resource allocated to a device other than the source of video data, an amount of the storage resource allocated to all devices other than the source of video data, or an amount of the storage resource allocated to types of data other than video data (e.g., documents, applications, etc.).

At block 1704, the device detects (e.g., while displaying the user interface) a user input (e.g., 1650 b, 1650 c) on the display (e.g., a tap on the first affordance or the second affordance).

In response to the user input, the device performs the operation of block 1706 or block 1708. At block 1706, in accordance with the first user input (e.g., 1650 c) corresponding to selection of the first affordance (e.g., 1610), the device initiates a process for deleting, from the storage resource, data that does not correspond to the source of video data. At block 1708, in accordance with the first user input (e.g., 1650 b) corresponding to selection of the second affordance (e.g., 1608), the device initiates a process for deleting, from the storage resource, data that corresponds to the source of video data. In some embodiments, initiating the process for deleting, from the storage resource, data that does not correspond to the source of video data includes displaying an option to delete recordings associated with all sources of video data associated with the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the first affordance (e.g., 1606) includes a representation of data stored by the storage resource that corresponds to a first device other than the source of video data. Optionally, at block 1710 (e.g., further in response to the user input), the device displays a menu (e.g., 1618) for setting storage options associated with the first device in accordance with the first user input corresponding to selection of the representation of data stored by the storage resource that corresponds to the first device. In some embodiments, the menu for setting storage options associated with the first device includes options (e.g., 1620 a-1620 d) for storage duration of data associated with the first device or an option (e.g., 1624) to delete from the storage resource the data that corresponds to the first device.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1700 (e.g., FIG. 17) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 1700 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to methods 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 2100, 2300, 2500, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can be the source of video data described in method 1100. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 18A-18D illustrate exemplary user interfaces for setting status and notifications settings, in accordance with some embodiments.

FIG. 18A illustrates device 600 displaying settings user interface 1432 for the living room camera. Device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1850 a (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1600 c, STATUS & NOTIFICATIONS. As illustrated in FIG. 18B, in response to receiving user input 1850 a, device 600 displays STATUS & NOTIFICATIONS user interface 1800, which includes affordances 1802-1814.

In some embodiments, selection of affordance 1802 toggles the state of a setting that determines whether a representation of the source of video data is included in a status user interface (e.g., the “CAMERAS” portion of home user interface 604).

In some embodiments, selection of affordance 1804 toggles the state of a setting that determines whether notifications related to the source of video data are displayed by device 600 (e.g., a notification that the source of video data has detected motion).

In some embodiments, selection of affordance 1806 causes device 600 to display notifications settings options associated with time (e.g., ranges of time in which notifications related with the source of video data are or are not to be displayed by device 600).

As illustrated in FIG. 18C, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 1850 b (e.g., a tap) corresponding to selection of affordance 1808 for displaying notifications settings options associated with people. As illustrated in FIG. 18D, in response to receiving user input 1850 b, device 600 displays people settings user interface 1816 for a user JOHN APPLESEED. People settings user interface 1816 includes affordance 1818 for toggling the state of a setting that determines whether the user is allowed to remotely access or control devices associated with location 123 Main St. People settings user interface 1816 includes list 1820 of devices 1820 a-1820 c that the user JOHN APPLESEED is permitted to access remotely (e.g., when the status of “ALLOW REMOTE ACCESS” is “ON” or “YES” (e.g., toggle switch positioned to the right)). In some embodiments, list 1820 represents the devices that user JOHN APPLESEED is permitted to access or control regardless of whether or not he is at the location (e.g., the user JOHN APPLESEED is not permitted to access or control devices that do not appear in list 1820 when he is at the location). In some embodiments, the user JOHN APPLESEED is not permitted to access or control devices that do not appear in list 1820 when he is not at the location. In some embodiments, people setting user interface includes an affordance for adding or removing devices from list 1820. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a sequence of one or more user inputs, device 600 adds or removes devices from list 1820.

In some embodiments, in accordance with the status of “ALLOW REMOTE ACCESS” being “OFF” or “NO” (e.g., toggle switch positioned to the left), the user JOHN APPLESEED is allowed to access or control devices only when he is present at the location (e.g., as determined by the location of a device associated with the user).

In response to receiving (e.g., detecting) selection of affordance 1822, device 600 causes the user JOHN APPLESEED to not be permitted to access or control devices at the location.

FIGS. 19A-19D illustrate exemplary user interfaces for interacting with cameras on wearable device 1900 (e.g., a watch) with a smaller screen and with rotatable input mechanism 1970, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces of FIGS. 19A-19D are used to illustrate the processes described below.

In FIG. 19A, wearable device 1900 displays user interface 1960, which includes a display of Camera 3 showing the living room. User interface 1960 of wearable device 1900 is analogous to user interface 610 of device 600, where a user may view recordings or live video feed from a camera and interact with associated accessories (e.g., turn on lights, turn on microphone) of the camera. In some embodiments, an indicator is displayed with the display of the camera to indicate the operational state of the camera (e.g., off, stream, or record). In some embodiments, user interfaces 1960 and 1908 are designed for smaller screens of wearable device 1900. In some embodiments, the indicator includes a color associated with an operational state (e.g., red for the off state, blue for the stream state, green for the record state).

User interface 1960 includes indication 1964 which includes a series of dots, where each dot (or at least two dots) represents a camera that is linked to device 1900. In FIG. 19A, the filled in second dot of indication 1964 indicates device 600 is currently displaying Camera 3, which is the second camera in the list of linked cameras. Device 1900 detects user input including a swipe gesture from left to right or right to left to switch to a different camera displayed in the list of cameras. For example, a user may swipe left to access the third camera in the list of cameras or swipe right to access the first camera in the list of cameras. In some embodiments, device 1900 detects rotation of rotatable input mechanism 1970 to display the next camera in the list of cameras (or rotation in the opposite direction to display the previous camera). In some embodiments, device 1900 displays the next camera in the list of cameras when the detected input from the rotation of rotatable input mechanism 1970 has a rotational velocity that exceeds a non-zero threshold value.

In FIG. 19A, device 1900 detects user input 1950 a (e.g., a swipe gesture to the right), corresponding to a request to access the first camera (e.g., Camera 1, the front door camera) in the list of cameras.

In FIG. 19B, in response to device 1900 detecting a user input 1950 a, device 1900 displays the first camera in the list (e.g., the front door camera) and updates indication 1964 to include a filled in first dot to show the display of the first camera in the list of cameras. Device 1900 detects user input 1950 b (e.g., a tap) to select Camera 1.

In FIG. 19C, in response to detecting user input 1950 b, device 1900 displays video media user interface 1908 that includes a live (e.g., non-recorded, real-time) video feed from Camera 1. In some embodiments, in response to device 1900 detecting a user input on a displayed notification received from Camera 1, the device displays user interface 1908, which includes a video user interface displaying Camera 1. User interface 1908 is analogous to user interface 812 in FIG. 8G, and is further described with respective to FIG. 8G above. In some embodiments, device 1900 detects a user input on the notification. In response to device 1900 detecting a user input on the notification, device 1900 displays video media user interface 1908 which includes a clip of a video recording, as discussed with respect to FIG. 8G. Video media user interface 1908 includes a play/pause button, a scrubber bar, and a home settings button 1972, which allows the user to configure camera settings. Video media user interface 1980 is analogous to video media user interface 608 of FIG. 6B and is further described with respect to FIG. 6B. While displaying video media user interface 1908, device 600 detects user input 1950 c (e.g., a vertical swipe gesture up or a detected rotation from rotatable input mechanism 1970) to display affordances 1980 a and 1980 b. FIG. 19C is illustrated in a manner to enable the reader to better understand the technique. In practice, a portion of the user interface is displayed on the device at a time, and the user can provide inputs (e.g., vertical swipe gesture, rotation of rotatable input mechanism) to cause the user interface to scroll.

In FIG. 19C, user interface element 1980 a allows the user to toggle the lock and unlock status of the front door. User interface element 1980 b allows the user to toggle the lights on and off. Device 1900 scrolls through user interfaces 1980 a-1980 b to display a next user interface in the sequence when a swipe gesture (e.g., swiping vertically up and down) or rotation of rotatable input mechanism 1970 is detected.

In FIG. 19D, device 1900 displays user interface 1960 with user interface elements 1980 c and 1980 d in response to detecting user input (e.g., a tap) on user interface 1960 (as illustrated in FIG. 19C). User interface elements 1980 c and 1980 d provide controls to enable/disable sound and the microphone associated with camera that is streaming video data.

FIGS. 20A-20X illustrate exemplary user interfaces for configuring recording settings based on motion detection conditions for a camera for one or more contexts, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces of FIGS. 20A-20X are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 21A-21C.

FIG. 20A illustrates device 600 displaying user interface 604, which is the same as user interface 604 illustrated in FIG. 6A and FIG. 12A. User interface 604 includes a home settings button 2002 which links to a home settings user interface as discussed below with respect to FIG. 24A. At FIG. 20A, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 2050 a (e.g., a tap) to select a displayed living room camera (Camera 3) (e.g., 610 c) (as described in further detail with respect to FIG. 12A). As illustrated in FIG. 20B, in response to receiving user input 2050 a in FIG. 20A, device 600 displays individual camera user interface 1200 for Camera 3, which is the same as user interface 1200 in FIG. 12D and is described in further detail with respect to FIG. 12D. Individual camera user interface 1200 is analogous to individual camera user interface 608 for the front door camera illustrated in and described with respect to, for example, FIG. 6B. Individual camera user interface 1200 includes settings affordance 1202. As illustrated in FIG. 20B, device 600 detects user input 2050 b corresponding to selection of settings affordance 1202.

In FIG. 20C, in response to receiving user input 2050 b (as illustrated in FIG. 20B), device 600 displays settings user interface 2004 for Camera 3, which is the analogous to user interface 1204 illustrated in FIG. 12E. Settings user interface 2004 includes graphical representations and affordances that correspond to those illustrated in (and described with respect to) settings user interface 1204 of FIG. 12E. For example, status and notifications affordance 2012 of FIG. 20C has the same or similar functionality as status and notifications affordance 1212 of FIG. 12E. Streaming and recording user interface 2014 of FIG. 20C has similar functionality as streaming and recording user interface 1214 of FIG. 12F. Settings user interface 2004 includes streaming and recording user interface 2014 and status and notifications affordance 1212. Streaming and recording user interface 2014 includes affordances 2016 and 2018 for configuring the operational modes of Camera 3. Status and notifications user affordance 2012 includes settings for configuring when notifications should be sent by Camera 3. Streaming and recording user interface 2014 includes affordance 2016 associated with a first context in which at least one person associated with the location of the source of video data is determined to be present at the location (e.g., any associated person is home), as described above with respect to FIG. 12G. Streaming and recording user interface 2014 also includes affordance 2018 associated with a second context in which no person associated with the location of the source of video data is determined to be present at the location (e.g., no associated person is home). As described above with respect to FIG. 12G, the presence of a person at a location is determined based on detecting that one or more devices associated with that person is at the location. In some embodiments, the first context and the second contexts are predetermined. In some embodiments, the first context and the second context are analogous to the contexts described with respect to FIG. 12G. Each context is associated with one or more camera operational modes (e.g., stream, record, or stream and record), as further discussed below with respective to FIG. 20D. In some embodiments, an operational mode is analogous to an operational state. In some embodiments, the first context and the second context are based on the location of device 600 relative to the camera. In some embodiments, the first context and second context are based on the location of device 600 relative to an external device (e.g., the user's presence at the location will be determined based on the location of device 600 relative to the external device) as describe above with respect to FIG. 12S. In some embodiments, the external device is a hub device (e.g., such as a tablet). In some embodiments, the hub device stores device or user profiles or sends control instructions (e.g., commands) to the source of video data.

As illustrated in FIG. 20C, prior to device 600 detecting user input 2050 c, device 600 displays the current operational mode in the first context (e.g. when any associated person is home) is “STREAM” only, which has previously been enabled in affordance 2016. Device 600 detects user input 2050 c corresponding to selection of affordance 2016 associated with the first context. In response to receiving user input 2050 c, device 600 displays expanded affordance 2016 associated with the first context to concurrently display affordances 2016 a-2016 c that correspond to operational modes, as illustrated in FIG. 20D.

In FIG. 20D, device 600 displays affordances 2016 a-2016 c corresponding to respective available operational modes “OFF”, “STREAM”, and “RECORD” of Camera 3 associated with the first context. Affordances 2016 a-2016 c are displayed in a menu within affordance 2016. In response to detecting user input 2050 c, affordance 2018 remains collapsed, while affordance 2016 is expanded to reveal affordances 2016 a-2016 c. Similarly, expanding affordance 2018, as illustrated in FIG. 20L, results in the display of affordance 2018 concurrently with affordances 2018 a-2018 c, corresponding to operational modes. Affordances 2018 a-2018 c correspond to respective available operational modes “OFF”, “STREAM”, and “RECORD” of Camera 3 in the second context (e.g., no associated person is home).

As illustrated in FIG. 20D, device 600 detects user input 2050 d corresponding to selection of affordance 2016 c, which enables the “RECORD” operational mode that was previously disabled. Selection of an operational mode affordance 2016 a-2016 c and 2018 a-2018 c toggles the state of the corresponding operational mode, such that a previously disabled operational mode becomes enabled and a previously enabled operational mode becomes disabled.

As illustrated in FIG. 20E, in response to detecting user input 2050 d (as illustrated in FIG. 20D), device 600 displays a check mark indicator adjacent to the “RECORD” text in affordance 2016 c, indicating that the “RECORD” operational mode is enabled for the first context. A check mark indicator is also displayed next to the “STREAM” text in affordance 2016 b indicating that the “STREAM” operational mode is also enabled for the first context. Thus, the user can see which modes are enabled/disabled based on the displayed check mark indicators for the first context (e.g., when home) of Camera 3 and can enable/disable additional modes for the same context for Camera 3. When an operational mode is not enabled, the respective affordance (e.g., 2016 a) is displayed without a check mark indicator. Device 600 displays multiple check mark indicators when multiple operational modes (e.g., “STREAM” and “RECORD”) are enabled. In response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 d, device 600 updates the display of the current operational mode to “STREAM” and “RECORD” for the first context in affordance 2016. Thus, the user can see the current operational mode of Camera 3 for the first context after the selection of the operational mode is applied. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2050 d, device 600 transmits (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) information to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with the enabled “RECORD” operational mode that was previously disabled. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) information to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the operational modes corresponding to the first context after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a). In some embodiments, the transmitted information includes instructions for updating the configuration profile of Camera 3.

At FIG. 20E, device 600 determines whether the enabled operational modes (e.g., as indicated by 2016 a-2016 c) in affordance 2016 (of the first context) include the “RECORD” operational mode. In accordance with a determination that the “RECORD” operational mode is not enabled, device 600 does not display recording options affordance 2020. In accordance with a determination that the “RECORD” operational mode is enabled, device 600 displays recording options affordance 2020. While displaying recording options affordance 2020, device 600 detects user input 2050 e corresponding to selection of recording options affordance 2020. Thus, device 600 determines whether the selected camera (e.g., Camera 3) has been configured to enable the “RECORD” operational mode for the selected context (e.g., “when home”) and, if so, displays an option (e.g., recording options affordance 2020) to configure the recordings settings.

As illustrated in FIG. 20F, in response to detecting user input 2050 e (as illustrated in FIG. 20E) on recording options affordance 2020, device 600 displays recording options user interface 2022. Recording options user interface 2022 includes activity detection affordance 2040, duration affordance 2010, cloud storage management affordance 2006, and erase recordings affordance 2008. In some embodiments, recording options user interface 2022 further includes an affordance for local storage management, which allows the user to manage storage of recordings on local flash memory or on additional storage cards (e.g., an SD card) on device 600.

Recording options user interface 2022 includes activity detection affordance 2040, including a menu of motion detection affordances 2030 a-2030 c. Motion detection affordances 2030 a-2030 c correspond to motion detection conditions that configure Camera 3 to trigger recording when motion is detected from “People”, “Animals”, and “Vehicles” respectively. Thus, the motion detection conditions for recording are used to independent configure a corresponding camera to trigger recording when a movement of a person is detected within a field of view of the camera, when a movement of an animal (non-human animal) is detected within a field of view of the camera, and when a movement of a vehicle (e.g., a car, truck, van, motorcycle) is detected within a field of view of the camera. In some embodiments, a motion detection condition is based on the detection of the presence of particular subjects (e.g., specified in a list). For example, affordance 2030 a optionally configures Camera 3 to trigger recording when specific people are detected in the room (e.g., JOHN APPLESEED). Similarly, affordance 2030 b optionally configures Camera 3 to trigger recording when specific animals (e.g., cat or dog) or vehicles (e.g., based on license plate) are determined to be present in the field of view of the camera. In FIG. 20F, device 600 displays a check mark indicator next to motion detection condition “Animals,” that has previously been (and currently is) enabled. In some embodiments, when one or more motion detection conditions are enabled, activity detection affordance 2040 is toggled to an enabled state. In some embodiments, when no motion detection conditions are enabled, activity detection affordance 2040 is toggled to a disabled state.

In FIG. 20G, while device 600 is displaying the motion detection affordances 2030 a-2030 c, device 600 detects user input 2050 f to select motion detection affordance 2030 a, which enables the corresponding “People” motion detection condition that was previously disabled. Selection of a motion detection affordance 2030 a-2030 c toggles the state of the corresponding motion detection condition, such that a previously disabled motion detection condition is now enabled and a previously enabled operational mode is now disabled. In response to detecting user input 2050 f, device 600 displays a check mark indicator adjacent to the “People” text, indicating that the “People” motion detection condition is enabled, as illustrated in FIG. 20H. In addition, a check mark indicator remains displayed next to the “Animals” text, which indicates the condition was previously enabled. Motion detection conditions that are not enabled are not displayed with check mark indicators. In some embodiments, device 600 displays multiple check mark indicators next to the corresponding enabled motion detection conditions when multiple motion detection conditions are enabled. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2050 f, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with the enabled motion detection condition for “People” that was previously disabled. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the motion detection conditions corresponding to the “RECORD” operational mode of the first context after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or “back” button 2002 b).

FIG. 20H illustrates device 600 detecting user input 2050 g on activity detection affordance 2040 to disable (e.g., toggle off) activity detection such that motion detection (for any of People, Animals, Vehicles) is not used to trigger recording on Camera 3. In FIG. 20I, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 g (as illustrated in FIG. 20H), device 600 ceases display of motion detection affordances 2030 a-2030 c, while activity detection affordance 2040 is displayed in the disabled state. Duration affordance 2010, cloud storage affordance 2006 and erase recording affordance 2008 remain displayed. In response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 g (as illustrated in FIG. 20H), recording triggered by motion detection conditions is disabled. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) device 600 receiving user input 2050 g, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with detected user input 2050 g to disable all motion detection conditions for triggering recording. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the disabled motion detection settings in the first context after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

In FIG. 20I, device 600 detects user input 2050 h to enable activity detection, which was previously disabled by user input 2050 g (as illustrated in FIG. 20H). In FIG. 20J, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 h (as illustrated in FIG. 20I), device 600 displays activity detection affordance 2040 concurrently with motion detection affordances 2030 a-2030 c, where motion detection affordances 2030-2030 c are automatically enabled without additional user input. Check mark indicators are displayed next to each of the displayed motion detection conditions to indicate that each of the motion detection conditions is enabled. In some embodiments, enabling activity detection affordance 2040 enables all motion detection conditions and disabling activity detection affordance 2040 disables all motion detection conditions. In response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 h (as illustrated in FIG. 20I), recording triggered by motion detection conditions is enabled. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) device 600 receiving user input 2050 h, device 600 transmits information to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with the enabled motion detection conditions that were previously disabled. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the motion detection conditions corresponding to the “RECORD” operational mode of the first context after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

As illustrated in FIG. 20K, prior to device 600 detecting user input 2050 i, device 600 displays that the current operational mode for the second context (e.g., when away) is “STREAM” when the “STREAM” operational mode is enabled in the second context (e.g., when no associated person is home) as illustrated in affordance 2018. Device 600 detects user input 2050 i corresponding to a selection of affordance 2018 associated with the second context (e.g., when no associated person is home). In response to receiving user input 2050 i, device 600 displays expanded affordance 2018 associated with the second context to concurrently display affordances 2018 a-2018 c that correspond to operational modes, as illustrated in FIG. 20L. In some embodiments, the operational modes associated with the second context are the same as (correspond to) the operational modes associated with the first context, though the operational modes are configured independently for each context. In some embodiments, the operational modes of the second context are different than the operational modes of the first context. In some embodiments, Camera 3 is turned off in the second context (e.g., check mark next to OFF 2018 a) (e.g., not recording, not triggered for recording, not available for streaming), when no one is home.

In FIG. 20L, in response to receiving user input 2050 i (as illustrated in FIG. 20K), device 600 displays expanded affordance 2018 associated with the second context to concurrently display operational modes corresponding to affordances 2018 a-2018 c. Affordances 2018 a-2018 c correspond to respective available operational modes “OFF”, “STREAM”, and “RECORD” of Camera 3 in the second context (e.g., no associated person is home). Affordances 2018 a-2018 c are displayed in a menu within affordance 2018. In response to detecting user input 2050 i (at FIG. 20K), affordance 2016 remains collapsed while affordance 2018 is expanded, as illustrated in FIG. 20L. Expanding affordance 2018, as illustrated in FIG. 20L results in the display of affordance 2018 concurrently with affordances 2018 a-2018 c corresponding to operational modes in the second context.

In FIG. 20L, device 600 detects user input 2050 j corresponding to selection of affordance 2018 c, which enables the “RECORD” operational mode that was previously disabled. As illustrated in FIG. 20M, in response to detecting user input 2050 j (as illustrated in FIG. 20L), device 600 displays the respective affordance 2018 c with a check mark indicator adjacent to the “RECORD” text, indicating that the “RECORD” operational mode is enabled. A check mark indicator is displayed next to the “STREAM” operational mode which was previously enabled. In some embodiments, selecting the “OFF” operational mode disables any other selected operational modes (e.g., “STREAM” or “RECORD” operational modes). In response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 j, device 600 updates the display of the current operational mode to “STREAM” and “RECORD” for the second context in affordance 2018. Thus, the user can see the current operational mode of Camera 3 for the second context after the selection of the operational mode is applied. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2050 j, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with the enabled “RECORD” operational mode that was previously disabled. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the operational modes corresponding to the second context after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a).

In FIG. 20M, device 600 determines whether the enabled operational modes (e.g., 2018 a-2018 c) in affordance 2016 include the “RECORD” operational mode. In accordance with a determination that the “RECORD” operational mode is enabled, device 600 displays recording options affordance 2020, as illustrated in FIG. 20M. In this example, input 2050 j (at FIG. 20L) enabled the “RECORD” operational mode, thereby causing display of recording options affordance 2020. While displaying recording options affordance 2020, device 600 detects user input 2050 k corresponding to selection of recording options affordance 2020.

As illustrated in FIG. 20N, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 k (as illustrated in FIG. 20M) of recording options affordance 2020, device 600 displays recording options user interface 2022, which is the same user interface as discussed above with respect to FIG. 20F. Device 600 detects user input 20501 corresponding to a selection of affordance 2030 a, corresponding to the motion detection condition when motion is detected from “People”. As discussed above with respect to FIG. 20F, in response to detecting user input 2050 l, device 600 displays a check mark indicator adjacent to the “People” text, indicating that the “People” motion detection condition is enabled. In addition, previously enabled “Vehicle” motion detection condition remains checked as indicated by the displayed check mark indicator at affordance 2030 c. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2050 l, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with the enabled “People” motion detection condition that was previously disabled in the second context. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the motion detection conditions corresponding to the “RECORD” operational mode of the second context after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

As discussed above, the operational modes and recording settings for the first context (e.g., when home) and the second context (e.g., when away) are configured independently from each other. For example, FIG. 20H illustrates device 600 transmitting information to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 to “STREAM” and “RECORD” operational modes and to trigger recording based on motion detected from “People” and “Animals” in the first context, without modifying the settings for the second context. In contrast, FIG. 20N illustrates device 600 transmitting information to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 to the “STREAM” and “RECORD” operational modes and to trigger recording based on motion detected from “People” and “Vehicles” in the second context, without modifying the settings for the first context.

FIG. 20O illustrates device 600 detecting user input 2050 m corresponding to selection of duration affordance 2010. Duration affordance 2010 corresponds an affordance in which the user can select a duration for keeping the recorded video data in cloud storage as illustrated in FIG. 14H. In FIG. 20P, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 n (as illustrated in FIG. 20O), device 600 displays expanded duration affordance 2010 to concurrently display affordances 2010 a-2010 d corresponding to predetermined durations in which the recorded video data for Camera 3 should be retained in cloud storage. In some embodiments, each of affordances 2010 a-2010 d correspond to differing time periods. In some embodiments, affordance 2010 a corresponds to 1 day, affordance 2010 b corresponds to 1 week, affordance 2010 c corresponds to 1 month and affordance 210 d corresponds to 1 year. In some embodiments, affordances 2010 a-2010 d are sorted in order of increasing duration. In some embodiments, affordances 2010 a-2010 d are sorted in order of decreasing duration. In some embodiments, affordances 2010 a-2010 d correspond to custom durations. In some embodiments, affordances 2010 a-2010 d correspond to predetermined durations.

FIG. 20P illustrates device 600 detecting user input 2050 n corresponding to selection of affordance 2010 c, which is a 1 month duration. In response to detecting selection of user input 2050 n, device 600 displays a check mark indicator next to the selected duration of 1 month, as illustrated in FIG. 20P. Selection of a duration affordance 2010 a-2010 d toggles the state of the corresponding duration, such that a previously disabled duration becomes enabled and a previously enabled duration is disabled. Only one duration can be enabled at a time. Thus, selection of 1 month duration affordance 2010 c results in a previously selected duration of 1 day being disabled. In some embodiments, in response to detecting user input 2050 n, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to a server or a hub that is storing the recorded data that is in communication with Camera 3) in accordance with the enabled duration for storing the recorded video data (of Camera 3) that was previously disabled. In some embodiments, the duration for storing video data of Camera 3 is configured without changing the duration for which other cameras store recorded video data. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to a server or a hub that is storing the recorded data that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the duration for storing the recorded video data after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

Similar to the configuration of recording settings, device 600 configures notifications settings based on detected user input received from analogous user interfaces as illustrated in FIGS. 22C-22D and discussed below. Device 600 detects user input from status and notifications user interface 2222, illustrated in FIG. 22D. Status and notifications user interface 2222 is analogous to status and notifications user interface 1800 in FIG. 18B. As illustrated in FIG. 22D, status and notifications user interface 2222 includes activity detection affordance 2240 for configuring notifications based on motion detection, which is analogous to activity detection affordance 2040 for configuring recording based on motion detection. As further discussed below with respect to FIGS. 22C-22D, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the notifications settings of configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the motion detection conditions corresponding to notifications settings independently of updating the recording settings as discussed above with respect to FIGS. 20C-20G.

FIGS. 20Q-20X illustrate user interfaces for management of cloud storage when Camera 3 is configured to be in a “RECORD” operational state. In FIG. 20Q, device 600 detects user input 2050 o corresponding to selection of the “RECORD” operational mode. In FIG. 20R, in accordance with a determination that device 600 is not linked to a cloud storage plan that includes sufficient memory for (or is enabled for) storing camera recordings (e.g., a subscription-based plan that is over 2 GB), device 600 displays notification 2060 a indicating that the user needs to upgrade the current cloud storage plan before the “RECORD” operational mode can be enabled for Camera 3. Notification 2060 a includes affordance 2064 for managing cloud storage and a confirmation affordance 2062 to return back to settings user interface 2004 for Camera 3 (without activating the record feature). Affordance 2064 provides the same functionality as affordance 1610 of FIG. 16E, which links to a respective cloud storage management user interface (e.g., 2066 of FIG. 20S and 1612 of FIG. 16G) for configuring cloud storage. At FIG. 20R, device 600 detects user input 2050 p corresponding to selection of affordance 2064 to manage cloud storage.

In FIG. 20S, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 p (as illustrated in FIG. 20R), device 600 displays upgrade cloud storage user interface 2066, which includes a current storage plan user interface 2068 and an upgrade options user interface 2070. User interface 2068 includes the price and amount of storage for the current storage plan in user interface 2068. User interface 2070 includes a menu of subscription plan affordances 2070 a (e.g., $X.xx/month for 200 GB) and 2070 b (e.g., $Y.yy/month for 2 TB) for different cloud storage plans. Various cloud storage plans support different numbers of cameras. For example, the first-tier storage plan provides storage for the recordings of one camera, and a second-tier storage plan may provide storage for the recordings of ten cameras. Device 600 detects user input 2050 q corresponding to selection of affordance 2070 a corresponding to selection of the first-tier, subscription-based storage plan. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2050 q, device 600 enables (or initiates a process for enabling) subscription to the first-tier, subscription-based storage plan associated with affordance 2070 a and transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the selected “RECORD” operational mode.

FIG. 20T illustrates, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 q (as illustrated in FIG. 20S), device 600 displays updated user interface 2068 to indicate the current storage plan is the first-tier, subscription-based storage plan and an updated user interface 2070, which removes affordance 2070 a associated with the first-tier, subscription-based storage plan from the menu of available subscription-based storage plans for upgrade. Affordance 2070 b corresponding to the second-tier, subscription-based storage plan is still displayed in user interface 2070 as this plan is still available for upgrade.

In some embodiments, when device 600 detects a user input to enable recording for a second camera, device 600 determines that the number of cameras exceeds the number of cameras supported by the first-tier storage plan (e.g., the first-tier storage plan only supports recordings of one camera). For example, the first-tier, subscription-based storage plan supports recording for one camera, while the second-tier, subscription-based storage plan supports recording for ten cameras.

FIG. 20U illustrates in response to device 600 detecting the user input to enable recording for a second camera (e.g., doorbell camera) while the current storage plan only supports recording for one camera and determining that the number of cameras requested for recording exceed the number of cameras supported by the current storage plan, device 600 displays notification 2060 b indicating that the user needs to upgrade the current storage plan before the “RECORD” operational mode can be enabled for the second camera. Notification 2060 b includes an affordance 2064 for managing the cloud storage plan or a confirmation affordance 2062, which returns to settings user interface 2004. At FIG. 20U, device 600 detects user input 2050 r corresponding to selection of affordance 2064 to manage the cloud storage plan.

In FIG. 20V, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 r (as illustrated in FIG. 20U), device 600 displays the current storage plan is the first-tier, subscription-based storage plan in user interface 2068 and affordance 2070 b in user interface 2070 corresponding to the second-tier, subscription-based storage plan. Device 600 only displays available subscription-based storage plans for upgrade in user interface 2070 (e.g., does not display the first-tier plan). Device 600 detects user input 2050 s corresponding to selection of affordance 2070 b.

In FIG. 20V, device 600 detects user input 2050 s on affordance 2070 b corresponding to the second-tier storage plan. In FIG. 20W, in response to detecting user input 2050 s, device 600 displays updated user interface 2068 indicating that the current storage plan is the second-tier, subscription-based storage plan and user interface 2070 is not displayed when there are no additional plans for upgrade. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2050 s, device 600 enables (or initiates a process for enabling) subscription to the second-tier, subscription-based storage plan associated with affordance 2070 b and transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the selected “RECORD” operational mode.

As illustrated in FIG. 20X, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2050 s to enable recording for an eleventh camera (e.g., doorbell camera) while the current storage plan only supports recording for ten cameras, device 600 displays notification 2060 c indicating recording is supported for only ten cameras. Recording is therefore not enabled for the eleventh camera. In some embodiments, the user may remove recording for one of the ten cameras before recording may be enabled for the eleventh camera (resulting in a total of recordings for 10 cameras). In response to device 600 detecting a user input 2050 t on confirmation affordance 2002 d corresponding to “OK” button 2002 d, device 600 displays settings user interface 2004. Device 600 does not transmit information to update the configuration profile of the eleventh camera to operational mode “RECORD” after detecting additional user input on “OK” button 2002 d.

FIGS. 21A-21C are a flow diagram illustrating a method for configuring recording settings of an external source of video data using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 2100 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 2100 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 2100 provides an intuitive way for configuring recording settings based on motion detection conditions for a source of video data for one or more contexts. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for configuring recording is enabled for a source of video data for different contexts based on the detection of motion of people, animals, and vehicles, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. Enabling motion detection as a condition for triggering recording reduces the storage space required for maintaining recordings, which creates a more efficient human-machine interface. Recording a fewer number of relevant clips also makes it easier for the user to find particular recordings at a later point in time. Further, since storage space is shared amongst sources of video data (e.g., cameras) linked to the device, reducing the amount of storage space used by one source of video data, provides additional storage space for other sources of video data. For battery-operated computing devices, reducing the amount of recordings allows the source of video data to more efficiently conserve power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 2102, the device (e.g., 600) receives data identifying a source of video data (e.g., a newly added external camera, selecting a camera from a dashboard such as Camera 3). At block 2104, after (e.g., in response to) receiving the data identifying the source of video data: at block 2106, the device displays a first user interface (e.g., 2014) including a menu for selecting an operational state (e.g., associated with affordances 2016 a-2016 c) (e.g., off, stream, record, or both stream and record) of the source of video data (wherein the operational state is associated with a context (e.g., someone is home (e.g., 2016), nobody is home (e.g., 2018), etc.)).

At block 2108, while displaying the menu for selecting an operational state (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2016 a-2016 c) of the source of video data, the device detects a first input (e.g., 2050 d) corresponding to a selection of the operational state (e.g., off, stream, record, or both stream and record and associated with a context (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2016, 2018) (e.g., home or away mode)). In some embodiments, the selected operational state (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2016 c) (e.g., recording state) and the selected first motion detection condition (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2030 a-2030 c) (e.g., detecting people) are associated with (e.g., correspond to) a first context (e.g., 2016) (e.g., when someone is home).

At block 2110, in response to detecting the first input (e.g., 2050 d) (e.g., selection of the operational state): in accordance with a determination that the selected operational state (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2016 c) includes a recording state (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2016 c), the device displays an options affordance (e.g., 2020) (e.g., recording options affordance only displayed when recording state is selected). Optionally in response to detecting activation of the options affordance (e.g., recording options affordance), the device displays a menu (e.g., 2010) for selecting a duration (e.g., day, week, month, year (e.g., 2010 a-2010 d)) for storing video data from the source of video data. In some embodiments, while displaying the menu for selecting a duration (e.g., day, week, month, year) for storing video data from the source of video data, the device detects a fifth input (e.g., 2050 n) corresponding to a selection of the duration for storing video data from the source of video data. Subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the fifth input, transmitting information to update the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected operational state and the selected duration.

Optionally, in response to detecting the first input (e.g., 2050 d), at block 2112, in accordance with a determination that the selected operational state (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2016 a, 2016 b) does not include the recording state (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2016 c), the device forgoes displaying the options affordance (e.g., 2020). In some embodiments, the device only displays the recording options affordance including motion detection affordances (e.g., 2030 a-2030 c) if the recording state is selected. In some embodiments, when the operational state already includes the recording state prior to detecting the first input (and thus the options affordance is displayed prior to receiving the first input) and the first input does not cause recording state to be excluded from the enabled operational states, the device maintains display of the recording options affordance. In some embodiments, when the operational state does not include the recording state prior to detecting the first input (and thus the options affordance is not displayed prior to receiving the first input) and the first input causes the operational state to include the recording state, the device displays the options affordance. In some embodiments, when the operational state includes the recording state prior to detecting the first input (and thus the options affordance is displayed prior to receiving the first input) and the first input causes the operational state to exclude the recording state, the device ceases to display the options affordance.

The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for configuring a source of video data for recording, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. Recording options are not displayed unless the device is in the record operational mode. Only displaying recording options when the configuration is set for recording reduces the cognitive burden on the user.

At block 2114, the device detects activation of the options affordance (e.g., 2020). In response to detecting activation of the options affordance: at block 2116, the device displays a plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2030 a-2030 c) (e.g., motion detection conditions for detecting people, pets, and vehicles), including: at block 2118, a first motion detection affordance (e.g., 2030 a) corresponding to a first motion detection condition (e.g., detection of people), and at block 2129, a second motion detection affordance (e.g., 2030 b or 2030 c) corresponding to a second motion detection condition different from the first motion detection condition; (e.g., detection of people, animals, or vehicles).

At block 2122, the device detects a second input (e.g., 2050 f) corresponding to a selection of the first motion detection condition if detecting the selection of the first motion detection affordance (e.g., 2030 a) enables the first motion detection condition that was previously disabled, the device displays a checkmark next to the enabled first motion detection condition. If detecting selection of the first motion detection affordance disables the first motion detection condition that was previously enabled, the device does not display a checkmark next to the disabled first motion detection condition.

At block 2124, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the second input (e.g., 2050 f) and optionally, also detecting activation of the “done” affordance, (e.g., in response to detecting the second input), the device transmits information to set a configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected operational state (e.g., recording state) and the selected first motion detection condition (e.g., detection of people). In some embodiments, at block 2126, the configuration profile causes the source of video data to begin recording when the selected first motion detection condition is satisfied.

Optionally, at block 2128, the device detects a third input corresponding to a selection of the second motion detection condition (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2030 b-2030 c). Optionally at block 2130, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the third input (and, optionally, also detecting activation of the “done” affordance) (e.g., in response to detecting the third input), the device transmits information to update the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected operational state and the selected second motion detection condition (e.g., recording state and detection of people). Optionally, at block 2132, the configuration profile causes the source of video data to begin recording when the selected first motion detection condition (e.g., detected motion of a person) or the selected second motion detection condition (e.g., detected motion of a pet) is satisfied. Thus, the configuration profile causes the source of video data to monitor for both the first motion detection condition (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2030 a) and the second motion detection condition (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2030 b or 2030 c), and to begin recording when either the first motion detection condition or the second motion detection condition (or both) is satisfied.

Configurations to trigger recording for a source of video data based on the detection of motion of people, animals, and vehicles saves computer resources and reduces power usage. Enabling motion detection as a condition for triggering recording reduces the storage space required for storing the recordings, which saves computer resources and limits the processing computers perform. Having fewer, but more relevant recordings also makes it easier for the user to find particular recordings at a later point in time. Further, since storage space is often shared amongst sources of video data (e.g., cameras) linked to the device, reducing the amount of storage space required allows storage space to be more efficiently shared. For battery-operated computing devices, reducing the amount of recordings allows the source of video data to more efficiently conserve power and increases the time between battery charges.

In some embodiments, the device detects a fourth input corresponding to a selection of a second operational state (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2016 b). In some examples, the second operational state is the same as the first operational state. In some embodiments, the second operational state is associated with a second context (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2018) (e.g., when no one is home) different from the first context. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the fourth input (e.g., optionally after detecting activation of the “done” affordance; e.g., in response to detecting the fourth input), the device transmits information to update the second operational mode of the second context of the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected the second operational mode associated with the second context (e.g., not recording state when no one is home) without transmitting information to update the operational mode of the first context (e.g., recording state with motion detection of people when someone is home) of the configuration profile of the source of video data (and without transmitting information to update any operational mode of the second context of the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected the second operational mode associated with the second context).

Selecting different operational modes for different contexts for configuring a source of video data provides a more efficient human-machine interface that gives the user more control over the source of video data. A user may only want to record in a first context, but not in a second context. Recording only in a particular context reduces the storage required for storing the recordings, which creates a more efficient human-machine interface. Having fewer, but more relevant recordings also makes it easier for the user to find particular recordings at a later point in time. Further, since storage is shared amongst sources of video data linked to the device, reducing the amount of storage required allows storage to be more efficiently shared. For battery-operated computing devices, reducing the amount of recordings allows the source of video data to more efficiently conserve power and increases the time between battery charges.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting activation of the options affordance (e.g., 2020), the device displays an activity detection affordance (e.g., 2040) concurrently with the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2030 a-2030 c) (e.g., the enabled motion detection conditions (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2030 b in FIG. 20F) are displayed with a check mark next to the motion detection condition to indicate that it is enabled and the disabled motion detection conditions (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2030 a and 2030 c in FIG. 20F) are displayed without a checkmark next to the motion detection condition to indicate that it is disabled). In some embodiments, (while displaying the activity detection affordance) the device detects a first activation (e.g., 2050 g) of the activity detection affordance (e.g., detecting a tap on the activity detection affordance). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first activation of the activity detection affordance (e.g., thereby toggling activity detection to the off state, resulting in the electronic device ceasing to display the plurality of motion detection affordances), the device ceases to display the first motion detection affordance (e.g., 2030 a) and the second motion detection affordance (e.g., 2030 b or 2030 c) (e.g., motion detection conditions for a person, a pet, and a vehicle). Optionally, in response to detecting the first activation of the activity detection affordance, the electronic device transmits information to update the configuration profile of the source of video data to disable motion detection conditions. Thus, the first activation of the activity detection affordance clears the selected motion detection conditions and ceases to display the motion detection affordances so that none of the motion detection conditions are selected. Accordingly, the corresponding source of video data receives information instructing it to no longer begin recording based on the enabled motion detection conditions. Also, the activity detection affordance being toggled optionally results in the motion detection affordances being hidden from view.

In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the first activation of the activity detection affordance, the device transmits information to update the configuration profile of the source of video data such that the first motion detection condition (e.g., 2030 a) and the second motion detection condition (e.g., 2030 b or 2030 c) are disabled. In some embodiments, the device sends information to update the source of video data to not record based on the first and second motion detection conditions that may have been enabled prior to when the user first activated the activity detection affordance.

In some embodiments, while not displaying the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2030 a-2030 c), (e.g., none of the plurality of motion detection affordances are displayed, but continuing to display the activity detection affordance), the device detects a second activation (e.g., 2050 h) of the activity detection affordance (subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the first activation of the activity detection affordance). In some embodiments, detecting the second activation of the activity detection affordance, by the device, causes the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2030 a-2030 c) to be displayed again. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second activation of the activity detection affordance, the device displays the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., motion detection conditions for people, pets, and vehicles), including: the first motion detection affordance (e.g., 2030 a in FIG. 20J) (e.g., with a first indication (e.g., a checkmark next to the first affordance) that the first motion detection condition is selected (e.g., without user input)), and the second motion detection affordance (e.g., 2030 b in FIG. 20J) (e.g., with a second indication (e.g., a checkmark next to the second affordance) that the second motion detection condition is selected (e.g., without user input)) (e.g., the first motion detection condition is enabled by default and the second motion detection condition is enabled by default as a result of the activity detection affordance being toggled on). In some embodiments, the checkmarks are displayed next to each of the displayed plurality of motion detection affordances.

Displaying checkmarks next to enabled motion detection conditions provides a more efficient human-machine interface, by conveying to the user, which motion detection conditions are enabled, thereby reducing the cognitive burden of the user.

In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the second activation (e.g., 2050 h) of the activity detection affordance, the device transmits information to update the configuration profile of the source of video data such that the first motion detection condition and the second motion detection condition are enabled. (sending information to update the source of video data to start recording based on the first and second motion detection conditions that may have been enabled prior to when the user first activated the activity detection affordance).

In some embodiments, the device detects activation of a notifications settings affordance (e.g. 2012) (e.g., status and notifications affordance), wherein the notifications settings affordance is for enabling notifications by the source of video data independent (e.g., without changing the motion detection conditions associated with the recording state) of an operational state of the source of video data (e.g., notifications to the electronic device). In some embodiments, in response to detecting activation (e.g., 2250 c in FIG. 22C) of the notifications settings affordance, the device displays a plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2230 a-2230 c in FIG. 22C). In some embodiments, while displaying the plurality of motion detection affordances, the device detects a sixth input (e.g., 2250 d in FIG. 22D) corresponding to a selection of a first motion detection condition.

In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the sixth input (e.g., 2250D in FIG. 22D), the device transmits information to update notifications settings (e.g., enable notifications or notifications based on motion detection conditions of people, pets, or vehicles) of the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected first motion detection condition without transmitting information to update the operational state (e.g., recording state) of the configuration profile of the source of video data.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 2100 (e.g., FIGS. 21A-21C) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 2100 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, 2300, 2500, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can be the controllable external device of method 2100 for which a configuration profile is set. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 22A-22H illustrate exemplary user interfaces for configuring notifications settings based on activity detected by a camera, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces of FIGS. 22A-22H are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 23A-23C.

FIG. 22A illustrates device 600 displaying user interface 604, which is the same as user interface 604 illustrated in FIG. 6A, FIG. 12A, and FIG. 20A. At FIG. 20A, device 600 detects user input 2250 a to select displayed living room camera (Camera 3) (e.g., 610 c) (as described in further detail with respect to FIG. 12A). As illustrated in FIG. 22B, in response to receiving user input 2250 a, device 600 displays individual camera user interface 1200 for Camera 3, which is the same as user interface 608 in FIG. 6B, and 1200 in FIG. 12D and FIG. 20B and is described in further detail with respect to FIGS. 6B and FIG. 12D. Individual camera user interface 1200 for the living room camera is analogous to individual camera user interface 608 for the front door camera (e.g., doorbell camera) illustrated in and described with respect to, for example, FIG. 6B. Individual camera user interface 1200 includes settings affordance 1202. As illustrated in FIG. 22B, device 600 detects user input 2250 b corresponding to selection of settings affordance 1202.

In response to receiving user input 2250 b at FIG. 22B, device 600 displays settings user interface 2004 for Camera 3, as illustrated in FIG. 22C, which is the same as user interface 2004 illustrated in FIG. 20C and is analogous to user interface 1204 illustrated in FIG. 12E. Settings user interface 2004 includes graphical representations and affordances that correspond to those illustrated in (and described with respect to) settings user interface 2004 of FIG. 20C, including status and notifications affordance 2012. Status and notifications affordance 2012 enables access to settings for configuring when notifications are sent (e.g., by Camera 3) as a result of detecting motion in a field of view of Camera 3 from a specified subject (e.g., person, animal, and vehicle).

As illustrated in FIG. 22C, device 600 detects user input 2250 c corresponding to selection of status and notifications affordance 2012. FIG. 22D illustrates, in response to detecting user input 2250 c (as illustrated in FIG. 22C), device 600 displays status and notifications user interface 2222. Status and notifications user interface 2222 is analogous to status and notifications user interface 1800 as illustrated in FIG. 18B and is further described respective to FIG. 18B. Status and notifications user interface 2222 includes status affordance 1802, notifications affordance 1804, time affordance 1806, people affordance 1808, and activity detection affordance 2240. As described above with respect to FIG. 18B-18D, status affordance 1802 is used to configure whether a representation of the source of video data is included in a status user interface (e.g., the “CAMERAS” portion of home user interface 604) on device 600. Notifications affordance 1804 is used to configure whether notifications from the source of video data (e.g., Camera 3) are displayed by device 600 (e.g., a notification is displayed when the source of video data has detected motion). When notifications affordance 1804 is disabled, device 600 has determined that Camera 3 is not configured to send notifications and, therefore, device 600 does not receive notifications from Camera 3 and affordances 1806, 1808, and 2240 are not displayed when notifications affordance 1804 is disabled. When device 600 receives input to enable notifications affordance 1804, device 600 sends information to Camera 3 to enable notifications to be triggered by time, people, or activity detection as configured by the corresponding affordances 1806, 1808, and 2240. Time affordance 1806 is used to configure notifications settings associated with time (e.g., ranges of time in which notifications related with the source of video data are or are not to be displayed by device 600). People affordance 1808 is used to configure notifications settings associated with people (e.g., notification triggered when motion of a person is detected). Activity detection affordance 2240 is analogous to activity detection affordance 2040 in FIG. 20E and includes a menu of motion detection affordances 2230 a-2230 c corresponding to motion detection conditions for triggering notifications.

Motion detection affordances 2230 a-2230 c correspond to motion detection conditions that configure Camera 3 to trigger notifications when motion is detected from “People”, “Animals”, and “Vehicles” respectively in the field of view of Camera 3. Notifications settings based on motion detection conditions are set independently of recording settings based on motion detection conditions as discussed with respect to FIGS. 20C-20J. For example, configuring Camera 3 to trigger recording based on the detected motion of “People” does not enable notifications to be triggered by “People”, unless the user has independently enabled notifications to be triggered by “People”. Similarly, setting notifications to be triggered based on the detected motion of “People” does not cause recordings to be triggered by the detected motion of “People”, unless the user has independently set recordings to be triggered by “People”. Thus, motion detection conditions are separately configured for notifications and for recording settings. Notifications settings based on motion detection conditions are also set independently of the first context and the second context in which Camera 3 is operating. For example, notifications may be triggered independent of whether Camera 3 is in operational modes “OFF”, “STREAM”, or “RECORD”. Similarly notifications may be triggered independent of whether Camera 3 is operating in the first context when someone is home or in the second context when no one is home.

In FIG. 22D, device 600 detects user input 2250 d corresponding to selection of the motion detection affordance 2230 a corresponding to the motion detection of “People”. Device 600 also detects user input user input 2250 e corresponding to selection of the motion detection affordance 2230 c corresponding to the motion detection of “Vehicles.” In some embodiments, a motion detection condition is based on detection of motion or presence of types of subjects (e.g., a person, an animal, a vehicle). In some embodiments, any motion detected from a person, an animal or a vehicle will trigger notifications based motion detection. In some embodiments, a motion detection condition is based on the detection of the presence of particular subjects specified in a list (e.g., certain people). In some embodiments, affordance 2230 a configures Camera 3 to trigger notifications when specific people are detected in the room (e.g., JOHN APPLESEED). Similarly, affordance 2230 b configures Camera 3 to trigger notifications when specific animals (e.g., cat or dog) or vehicles (e.g., based on license plate) are determined to be present in the field of view of the camera. In some embodiments, when motion detection conditions are not enabled, device 600 configures the camera such that notifications are triggered when the camera detects any motion (not necessarily from certain people, animals, or vehicles).

In FIG. 22E, device 600 displays a check mark indicator next to motion detection condition “People” and “Vehicles,” that have been enabled by user input 2250 d and 2250 e respectively. When one or more motion detection conditions are enabled on Camera 3, recording will be triggered when any of the one or more motion detection conditions are satisfied (e.g., motion from a person, vehicle, or animal is detected). In some embodiments, when one or more motion detection conditions are enabled, activity detection affordance 2240 is toggled to an enabled state, as illustrated in FIG. 22E. In some embodiments, when no motion detection conditions are enabled, activity detection affordance 2240 is toggled to a disabled state. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2050 e at FIG. 22D, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the notifications settings of the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the enabled motion detection conditions for “People” and “Vehicles” that were previously disabled. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the notifications settings of the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the motion detection conditions after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

FIG. 22E illustrates device 600 detecting user input 2250 f to disable activity detection such that motion detection is not used to trigger notifications on Camera 3. In FIG. 22F, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2250 f, device 600 ceases to display motion detection affordances 2230 a-2230 c, such that activity detection affordance 2240 is displayed in the disabled state (without displaying motion detection affordances 2230 a-2230 c). In some embodiments, when activity detection affordance 2240 is disabled, any type of motion detected (e.g., e.g., from an object such as a rolling ball, not specifically people or animals) may trigger notifications. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) device 600 receiving user input 2250 f, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with detected user input 2250 f to disable triggering notifications by motion detection. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the disabled motion detection settings after detecting further user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 202 a or back button 2002 b).

In FIG. 22F, device 600 detects user input 2250 g to enable activity detection on activity detection affordance 2240, which was previously disabled. In FIG. 22G, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2250 g (as illustrated in FIG. 22F), device 600 displays activity detection affordance 2240 concurrently with motion detection affordances 2230 a-2230 a, where motion detection affordances 2230 a-2230 a are automatically enabled without additional user input. Check mark indicators are displayed next to each of the displayed motion detection affordances to indicate that the corresponding motion detection conditions are enabled. In response to device 600 detecting user input 2250 g, notifications triggered by motion detection conditions are enabled. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) device 600 receiving user input 2250 g, device 600 transmits (e.g., to Camera 3) information to update the notifications settings of configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with the enabled motion detection conditions that were previously disabled. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the notifications settings of configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the motion detection conditions after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

In some embodiments, in response to receiving a notification (e.g., 810) from Camera 1, a front door camera, based on motion detected by Camera 1, device 600 displays a notification (e.g., 810 in FIG. 8E), which represents a representative image from Camera 1 along with a message indicating information provided by Camera 1 (e.g., front door movement detected). Notifications received by device 600 are described with respect to FIG. 8E and optionally include controls for accessing at least one controllable external device associated with Camera 1 (e.g., 814 b turning on front door lights or 814 c enabling sound from the intercom as illustrated in FIG. 8G). In some embodiments, device 600 displays the received notification (e.g., 810) with affordances to play back a recorded clip of video from Camera 3, which is further described with respective to FIG. 8G. In some embodiments, notifications are received by device 1900 as discussed in FIGS. 19A-19D.

In FIG. 22G, device 600 detects user input 2250 h, corresponding to selection of notifications affordance 1804, which is enabled prior to receiving the input. In FIG. 22H, in response to detecting user input 2250 h (as illustrated in FIG. 22G), device 600 disables notifications from Camera 3 and does not display affordances 1806, 1808, and 2040, while maintaining display of notifications affordance 1804 in the disabled state. In some embodiments, when notifications affordance 1804 is disabled, device 600 does not receive any notifications from Camera 3. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) device 600 receiving user input 2250 h, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with detected user input 2250 h to disable notifications from Camera 3. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the disabled notifications settings after detecting additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

FIGS. 23A-23C are a flow diagram illustrating a method for configuring notifications settings of an external camera using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 2300 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 2300 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 2300 provides an intuitive way for configuring notifications settings based on motion detection conditions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing notifications by allowing the user to configure a device to only receive notifications based on motion detection of people, animals, or vehicles instead of any type of motion (e.g., motion from leaves at the front door). For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to configure a source of video data to only send notifications based on motion detection of relevant subjects allows both the device to more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges as fewer notifications are received.

At block 2302, the device (e.g., 600) receives data identifying a source of video data (e.g., a newly added external camera). At block 2304, after receiving the data identifying the source of video data, at block 2306, the device detects activation (e.g., 2250 c) of a notifications settings affordance (e.g., status and notifications affordance), wherein the notifications settings affordance is for enabling notifications by the source of video data independent (e.g., without changing the motion detection conditions associated with the recording state) of an operational state of the source of video data (e.g., notifications to the electronic device). In some embodiments, at block 2308, the operational state (e.g., corresponding to the operational states indicated in affordances 2016 and 2018) of the source of video data is not a recording state (e.g., camera is configured to stream) when the notifications settings affordance is activated (e.g., notifications are enabled even though the camera is not configured to record or stream, thus the user can receive notifications that motion is detected without requiring the camera be configured to record or stream). In some embodiments, at block 2310, the notifications settings of the source of video data are not associated with (e.g., do not correspond to) a context of the source of video data. In some embodiments, the notifications settings is independent of whether the context is when someone is home or when someone is away. In some embodiments, the device configures the source of video data to trigger notifications regardless of the operational states associated with the context. In some embodiments, the device configures the source of video data to trigger notifications based on motion detection conditions and not based on whether the camera is recording.

Configuring notifications settings for different contexts reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing notifications. For example, a user may only want to receive notifications when no one is home. Allowing the user to specify the context in which the user wants to receive notifications provides the user with a more efficient user interface and reduces the cognitive burden on the user as fewer notifications are displayed. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to configure a source of video data to only send notifications based on motion detection of relevant subjects allows both the device to more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges as fewer notifications are received.

At block 2314, in response to detecting activation (e.g., 2250 c) of the notification setting affordance, the device displays a plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2230 a-2230 c), including: at block 2316, a first motion detection affordance (e.g., 2230 a) corresponding to the first motion detection condition (e.g., detection of people), and at block 2318, a second motion detection affordance (e.g., 2230 b) corresponding to the second motion detection condition different from the first motion detection condition (e.g., detection of animals, or vehicles).

At block 2320, the device detects (e.g., while displaying the plurality of motion detection affordances) a first input (e.g., 2250 d) corresponding to a selection of the first motion detection condition (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2230 a). At block 2322, subsequent to detecting the first input (and also tapping “done”), the device transmits information to update notifications settings (e.g., the device transmits notifications when motion is detected from people) of a configuration profile of the source of video data according to the first motion detection condition without transmitting information to update motion detection conditions associated with an operational state (e.g., recording state and detection of people) of the configuration profile of the source of video data.

Optionally at block 2312, the device receives an alert associated with an event from the source of video data when the first motion detection condition is enabled in the configuration profile of the source of video data and the first motion detection condition is satisfied (e.g., the camera transmits notifications to the electronic device when motion is detected from people).

Optionally at block 2324, the device detects a second input (e.g., 2250 e) corresponding to a selection of the second motion detection condition (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2250 e). Optionally, at block 2326, subsequent to detecting the second input (and, optionally, also detecting activation of the “done” affordance) (e.g., in response to detecting the second input), the device transmits information to update notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video data according the selected second motion detection condition (e.g., detection of pets or vehicles), wherein the configuration profile causes the source of video data to transmit an alert when the first selected motion detection condition (e.g., people) or the selected second motion detection condition (e.g., pets) is satisfied. Thus, the configuration profile causes the source of video data to monitor for both the first motion detection condition and the second motion detection condition, and to transmit an alert when either the first motion detection condition or the second motion detection condition (or both) is satisfied.

In some embodiments, the device detects a third input (e.g., 2050 d in FIG. 20D) corresponding to a selection of the operational state (associated with the context (e.g., home or away mode)), wherein the operational state is a recording state. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input (e.g., selection of the recording state), the device displays a second plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2030 a-2030 c in FIG. 20F) (e.g., people, pets, vehicles).

In some embodiments, while displaying the second plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2030 a-2030 c), the device detects a fourth input (e.g., 2030 a in FIG. 20D) corresponding to a selection of a third motion detection condition (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2030 a) (e.g., a condition that is satisfied when the source of the video data detects motion of a person within a field of view of the source of the video data). In some embodiments, subsequent to detecting the fourth input (selection of the first motion detection condition), the device transmits information to update the operational state of the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected operational state and the selected first motion detection condition (e.g., recording when motion from a person is detected) without transmitting information to update notifications settings (e.g., motion detection conditions of notifications) of the configuration profile of the source of video data.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting activation of the notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2250 c), the device displays an activity detection affordance (e.g., 2240) concurrently with the plurality of motion detection affordances. In some embodiments, enabled motion detection conditions (e.g., corresponding to affordance 2230 c) are displayed with a check mark next to the motion detection condition to indicate that it is enabled and the disabled motion detection conditions (e.g., corresponding to affordances 2230 a-2230 b) are displayed without a checkmark next to the motion detection condition to indicate that it is disabled.

In some embodiments, (while displaying the activity detection affordance), the device detects a first activation (e.g., 2250 f) of the activity detection affordance (e.g., detecting a tap on the activity detection affordance). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first activation of the activity detection affordance (e.g., thereby toggling activity detection to the off state, resulting in the electronic device ceasing to display the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2230 a-2230 c)), the device ceases to display the first motion detection affordance (e.g., 2230 a) and the second motion detection affordance (e.g., 2230 b or 2230 c) (e.g., motion detection conditions for a person, a pet, and a vehicle). Optionally, in response to detecting the first activation of the activity detection affordance, the electronic device transmits information to update the configuration profile of the source of video data to disable motion detection conditions. Thus, the first activation of the activity detection affordance clears the selected motion detection conditions and ceases to display the motion detection affordances so that none of the motion detection conditions are selected. Accordingly, the corresponding source of video data receives information instructing it to not trigger notifications based on the enabled motion detection conditions. Also, the activity detection affordance being toggled optionally results in the motion detection affordances being hidden from view.

In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the first activation (e.g., 2250 f) of the activity detection affordance, transmitting information to update the notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video data such that the first motion detection condition and the second motion detection condition are disabled. In some embodiments, the device sends information to update the source of video data to not trigger notifications based on the first and second motion detection conditions that may have been enabled prior to when the user first activated the activity detection affordance.

In some embodiments, while not displaying the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2230 a-2230 c) (e.g., none of the plurality of motion detection affordances are displayed, but continuing to display the activity detection affordance), the device detects a second activation (e.g., 2250 g) of the activity detection affordance (subsequent to detecting the first activation of the activity detection affordance). Detecting the second activation of the activity detection affordance, causes the plurality of motion detection affordances to be displayed again.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second activation (e.g., 2250 g) of the activity detection affordance, the device displays the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2230 a-2230 c) (e.g., motion detection conditions for people, pets, and vehicles), including: the first motion detection affordance (e.g., 2230 a) (e.g., with a first indication (e.g., a checkmark next to the first affordance) that the first motion detection condition is selected (e.g., without user input)), and the second motion detection affordance (e.g., 2230 b or 2230 c) (e.g., with a second indication (e.g., a checkmark next to the second affordance) that the second motion detection condition is selected (e.g., without user input)). In some embodiments, the first motion detection condition is enabled by default and the second motion detection condition is enabled by default as a result of the activity detection affordance being toggled on. In some embodiments, checkmarks are displayed next to each of the displayed plurality of motion detection affordances.

In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the second activation (e.g., 2250 g) of the activity detection affordance, transmitting information to update the notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video data such that the first motion detection condition and the second motion detection condition are enabled (sending information to update the source of video data to trigger notifications based on the first and second motion detection conditions that may have been enabled prior to when the user first activated the activity detection affordance).

Enabling the motion detection conditions automatically when the activity detection affordance is enabled provides a more efficient user interface that reduces the cognitive burden on the user for setting up notifications more efficiently. The activity detection affordance configures the source of video data to send notifications to the device when motion is detected from certain subjects instead of any motion triggering a notification. Enabling motion detection as a condition for triggering notifications reduces the volume of notifications that would otherwise be received, which creates a more efficient human-machine interface and user experience. For battery-operated computing devices, the lower volume of received notifications allows the device to more efficiently conserve power and increases the time between battery charges.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 2300 (e.g., FIGS. 23A-23C are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 2300 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, 2100, 2500, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can be the controllable external device of method 2300 for which a configuration profile is set. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 24A-24J illustrate exemplary user interfaces for configuring notifications settings for a first type of notifications based on activity detection by a first type of external camera and a second type of notifications based on activity detected by a second type of external camera, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces of FIGS. 24A-24J are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 25A-25D.

FIG. 24A illustrates device 600 displaying user interface 604, which is the same as user interface 604 illustrated in FIG. 6A, FIG. 12A, FIG. 20A, and FIG. 22A. At FIG. 20A, device 600 detects user input 2450 a corresponding to selection of home settings affordance 2002. As illustrated in FIG. 24B, in response to detecting user input 2050 a (as illustrated in FIG. 24A), device 600 displays user interface 2404, including affordances 2406 and 2408 for configuring various settings for smart appliances (e.g., cameras, doors, locks) in, for example, a user's home. People section 2406, includes a list of people authorized to interact with the smart appliances in the home. Device 600 also displays an invite button for adding people to people section 2406. Notifications affordance 2408 includes a menu of affordances 2402 a-2402 c corresponding respectively to cameras, doors, and locks, which can be configured by device 600 to send notifications.

In FIG. 24B, in response to device 600 detecting user input 2450 b, corresponding to selection of cameras affordance 2402 a, device 600 displays cameras user interface 2410 in FIG. 24C. Cameras user interface 2410 includes a menu of affordances (e.g., living room camera affordance 2426 a and front door (doorbell) camera affordance 2426 b) for configuring respective cameras that have been added to device 600. In accordance with a determination that the type of the selected camera is a first type (e.g., a non-doorbell camera), device 600 displays a status and notifications user interface 2222, as illustrated in FIG. 24D. In accordance with a determination that the type of the selected camera is a second type (e.g., a doorbell camera), device 600 displays a status and notifications user interface 2422 is displayed as illustrated in FIG. 24E. In some embodiments, device 600 determines whether a camera is a first type of camera or a second type of camera based on whether the camera has an input mechanism such as a doorbell or an intercom. In FIG. 24C, when device 600 detects user input 2450 c corresponding to selection of the living room camera (e.g., Camera 3, a first type of camera), status and notifications user interface 2222 is displayed as illustrated in FIG. 24D. In FIG. 24C, when device 600 detects user input 2450 d corresponding to selection of the front door (doorbell) camera (e.g., Camera 1, a second type of camera) status and notifications user interface 2422 is displayed as illustrated in FIG. 24E.

FIG. 24D illustrates in response to detecting user input 2450 c (as illustrated in FIG. 24C), device 600 displays status and notifications user interface 2222 corresponding to notifications settings for Camera 3, which is the same as user interface 2222 for Camera 3 in FIG. 22D and is described in detail with respect to FIG. 22D above. Status and notifications user interface 2222 is displayed when the selected camera is a first type of camera (e.g., not a doorbell camera). Status and notifications user interface 2222 includes notifications affordance 1804 for toggling whether device 600 receives notifications from Camera 3. When notifications affordance 1804 is enabled, device 600 displays affordances 1806, 1808, and 2240 to configure when notifications are sent by Camera 3. Affordances 1804, 1806, and 1808, are discussed above with respect to FIGS. 18C-18D, FIG. 22D, and FIG. 22H. When notifications affordance 1804 is disabled, device 600 does not display affordances 1806, 1808, and 2240 because the user has selected to not trigger notifications from Camera 3 based on the settings corresponding to affordances 1806, 1808, and 2240, as illustrated in FIG. 22H. When notifications affordance 1804 is enabled, device 600 detects user input to configure motion detection settings relative to affordances 2230 a-2230 c, which is the same as user interface 2240 in FIG. 22D and is described in further detail with respect to FIG. 22D above. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) device 600 receiving user input to configure motion detection settings relative to affordances 2230 a-2230 c, device 600 transmits information to update the notifications settings of configuration profile of Camera 3 in accordance with the enabled motion detection conditions. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 3 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 3) to update the notifications settings of configuration profile of Camera 3 according to the changes made to the motion detection conditions after detecting an additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

In FIG. 24C, device 600 detects user input 2450 d corresponding to selection of front door (doorbell) camera affordance 2450 d. FIG. 24E illustrates in response to detecting user input 2450 d (as illustrated in FIG. 24C), device 600 displays status and notifications user interface 2422 corresponding to the front door (doorbell) camera (Camera 1).

In FIG. 24E, status and settings user interface 2422 for the front door (doorbell) camera is analogous to status and notifications user interface 2222 for the living room camera. Status and notifications user interface 2422 is displayed when the selected camera is a second type of camera (e.g., a doorbell camera). Status and notifications user interface 2422 includes notifications affordance 1804, time affordance 1806, people affordance 1808, and activity detection affordance 2240. Status and notifications user interface 2422 also includes additional doorbell notifications affordance 2410 and activity notifications affordance 2412 that are displayed when the selected camera is a second type of camera and that are not displayed when the selected camera is a first type of camera. Activity affordance 2412 enables Camera 1 to transmit a first type of notification based on detected activity (e.g., notifications triggered by motion detection) by Camera 1. Doorbell notifications affordance 2410 enables Camera 1 to transmit a second type of notification based on user interaction with the doorbell (or any accessory associated with the doorbell camera such as an intercom). The first type of notification and second type of notification are set independently by corresponding affordances 2412 and 2410. When activity detection affordance 2240 is enabled, affordances 1806, 1808, and 2240 are displayed. When activity detection affordance 2412 is disabled, affordances 1806, 1808, and 2240 are hidden. Affordances 1804, 1806, and 1808, are discussed above with respect to FIGS. 18C-18D.

In FIG. 24E, device 600 detects user input 2450 e corresponding to selection of notifications affordance 1804 to turn off notifications from Camera 1. As illustrated in FIG. 24F, when notifications affordance 1804 is disabled, Camera 1 is configured to not transmit notifications. Thus, disabling notifications affordance 1804 results in doorbell notifications affordance 2410 and activity notifications affordance 2412 automatically being disabled without additional user input. In addition, disabling activity notifications affordance 2412 results in device 600 ceasing to display affordances 1806, 1808, and 2240, as discussed with respect to FIGS. 22H and 24D device 600 also ceases to display doorbell notifications affordance 2410 and activity notifications affordance 2412. In some embodiments, in response to detecting user input 2450 e, device 600 displays doorbell notifications affordance 2410 and activity notifications affordance 2412, but both affordances are disabled and cannot be enabled unless notifications affordance 1804 is enabled. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2450 e, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to disable notifications for Camera 1 including disabling both activity notifications and doorbell notifications. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of the Camera 1 to disable notifications for the doorbell camera after detecting an additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

In FIG. 24F, device 600 detects user input 2450 f corresponding to selection of notifications affordance 1804 corresponding to enabling notifications on Camera 1, which was previously disabled. As illustrated in FIG. 24G, when notifications affordance 1804 is enabled, device 600 displays doorbell notifications affordance 2410, activity notifications affordance 2412, time affordance 1805, people affordance 1808, and activity detection affordance 2240 including motion detection affordances 2230 a-2230 c. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2450 f, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to enable notifications for Camera 1. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to enable notifications for Camera 1 after detecting an additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

In FIG. 24G, device 600 detects user input 2450 g corresponding to selection of doorbell notifications affordance 2410 to disable doorbell notifications (e.g., the second type of notifications sent when someone presses the doorbell or intercom button or a doorbell) as illustrated in FIG. 24H. However, disabling doorbell notifications does not disable activity notifications (e.g., a first type of notifications triggered by activity such as the detected motion of people), which are set independently of the doorbell notifications. Activity notifications are configured by activity notifications settings, which remain enabled. Thus, activity notifications may be triggered even when doorbell notifications are turned off. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to detecting user input 2450 g), device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to disable doorbell notifications without updating the activity notifications settings. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to disable doorbell notifications for Camera 1 without updating the activity notifications settings after detecting an additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

As illustrated in FIG. 24H, device 600 detects user input 2450 h corresponding to selection of a motion detection affordance 2230 b to trigger activity notifications (e.g., the first type of notifications) based on the detected motion of “Animals”, while doorbell notifications remain disabled. The selected motion detection condition “Animals” is displayed with a check mark indicator to indicate that the condition is enabled. In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 2450 h, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to enable notifications based on the selected motion detection condition without updating the doorbell notifications settings. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to enable activity notifications for Camera 1 based on the selected motion detection condition without updating the doorbell notifications settings after detecting an additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

In FIG. 24H, device 600 detects user input 2450 i corresponding to enabling doorbell notifications affordance 2410. Enabling doorbell notifications in response to user input 2450 i does not affect the activity notifications settings (e.g., motion detection settings) set by user input 2450 h to enable notifications based on motion detection of “Animals”. As illustrated in FIG. 24I, the activity detection settings remain the same (motion detection of “Animals” is still enabled) as when doorbell notifications were disabled. In some embodiments, in response to detecting user input 2450 i, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to enable doorbell notifications for Camera 1 without updating activity notification based on motion detection. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to enable doorbell notifications without updating the activity notifications settings based on motion detection after detecting an additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

As illustrated in FIG. 24I, while doorbell notifications are enabled, device 600 detects user input 2450 j corresponding to disabling activity notifications affordance 2412. As illustrated in FIG. 24J, in response to detecting user input 2450 j (as illustrated in FIG. 24I), activity notifications affordance 2412 is disabled, resulting in all activity based notifications (e.g., the first type of notifications based on time, people, and motion detection) being disabled. FIG. 24J illustrates that in response to disabling activity notifications affordance 2422, device 600 does not display time affordance 1806, people affordance 1808, activity detection affordance 2240, and motion detection affordances 2230 a-2230 c. Disabling activity notifications affordance 2422 in notifications setting user interface 2422 for the doorbell camera has the same effect as disabling notifications affordance 1804 in notifications setting user interface 2222 for other types of non-doorbell cameras (e.g., living room camera), which is to disable Camera 3 from transmitting the first type of notifications. However, disabling activity notifications on Camera 1 does not disable doorbell notifications (the second type of notifications), which remain enabled as doorbell notifications are independently configured. In some embodiments, in response to detecting user input 2450 j, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to disable activity notification without disabling doorbell notifications. In some embodiments, device 600 transmits information (e.g., to Camera 1 or a hub that is in communication with Camera 1) to update the configuration profile of Camera 1 to disable activity without disabling doorbell notifications after detecting an additional user input on a confirmation affordance (e.g., “X” button 2002 a or back button 2002 b).

FIGS. 25A-25D are a flow diagram illustrating a method for configuring notifications settings of an external camera using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 2500 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 2500 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 2500 provides an intuitive way for configuring a first type of notifications based on activity detection by a first type of external camera and a second type of notifications based on activity detected by a second type of external camera. Allowing users to receive a particular type of notifications (e.g., doorbell notifications) while excluding other types of notifications (e.g., activity notifications) reduces the cognitive burden on a user so that fewer notifications are displayed, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to configure the type of notifications the user wants to receive allows the user to efficiently conserve power on the device and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 2502, the device (e.g., 600) receives data identifying a source of video data. Optionally at block 2504, sources of video data of the first type (e.g., non-doorbell camera) include a camera and do not include an input mechanism for generating alerts. Optionally, at block 2506, sources of video data of the second type (e.g., doorbell camera) include a camera and an input mechanism for generating alerts (e.g., a doorbell). In some embodiments, the electronic device determines whether sources of video data are of a first type or of a second type (e.g., not of the first type) based on whether the respective sources of video data include an input mechanism (that is optionally integrated into the device of the source of video data) (e.g., a mechanical button, a capacitive button) for generating alerts (e.g., a chime by a speaker, an alert sent to another device that causes a notification on the another device). The device optionally categorizes sources of video data that do not include an input mechanism (as described) as being of the first type and sources of video data that do include an input mechanism (as described) as being of the second type.

In response to receiving the data identifying the source of video data, at block 2508, in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a first type of source of video data (e.g., a non-doorbell camera) the device displays, on the display device, a first notifications settings affordance (e.g., 1804) (e.g., camera activity notifications) without displaying a second notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2410)(e.g., doorbell notifications), wherein the first notifications settings affordance enables (and disables) a first type of notifications (e.g., notifications based on activity detection/motion detection by the source of video data) for the source of video data.

At block 2510, in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a second type of source of video data (e.g., doorbell camera), the device concurrently displays, on the display device: at block 2512, the first notifications settings affordance (e.g., 1804) (activity notifications), and at block 2514, the second notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2410) (for enabling (or disabling) notifications for doorbell notifications), wherein the second notifications settings affordance enables (and disables) a second type of notifications (e.g., notifications based on detecting user input with the doorbell or intercom) for the source of video data. In some embodiments, the second notifications settings affordance is associated with an accessory (e.g., doorbell) of the source of video data (e.g., doorbell camera).

Allowing users to configure whether to configure the device to receive notifications for a first type of camera while not receiving notifications for a second type of camera, creates a more efficient human-machine interface. Users may want to receive particular types of notification sent by a particular type of camera (e.g., notifications only sent when someone is at the front door). For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to configure the type of notifications the user wants to receive allows the user to efficiently conserve power on the device and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 2516, (while displaying at least the first notifications settings affordance (e.g., 1804) and, optionally, the second notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2410)) the device detects a first input (e.g., 2450 e). At block 2518, in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to activation (e.g., toggling on/off) of the first notifications settings affordance (e.g., 1804), the device transmits information to set the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the first notifications settings affordance such that first type of notifications are enabled.

At block 2520, in accordance with a determination that the first input (e.g., 2450 g) corresponds to activation (e.g., toggling on/off) of the second notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2410), the device transmits information to set the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the second notifications settings affordance such that the second type of notifications are enabled.

Optionally, at block 2522, the device displays, on the display device, a plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2230 a-2230 c), including, at block 2524, a first motion detection affordance (e.g., 2230 a) corresponding to a first motion detection condition (e.g., a motion detection condition that is satisfied when the source of video data (e.g., a camera) detections motion of a person within a field of view of the source of video data), and at block 2526, a second motion detection affordance (e.g., 2230 b or 2230 c) corresponding to a second motion detection condition different from the first motion detection condition (e.g., a motion detection condition that is satisfied when motion of an animal or a vehicle is detected).

Allowing a user to configure the first type of notifications independently of settings for the second type of notifications creates a more efficient human-machine interface and provides the user with flexibility to manage notifications from multiple camera sources. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to configure the type of notifications the user wants to receive allows the user to efficiently conserve power on the device and increases the time between battery charges.

Optionally, at block 2528, the device detects a second input corresponding to a selection of the first motion detection condition (e.g., 2450 h). Optionally, at block 2530, subsequent to (e.g., in response to) detecting the second input (and, optionally, also tapping “done”), the device transmits information to update notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video data (e.g., doorbell cameras) according to the selected motion detection condition without updating the notifications settings of the second type of notifications.

Optionally at block 2532, while displaying the second notifications settings affordance (2410) (in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is the second type of source of video data), the device detects a third input (e.g., 2450 g) corresponding to activation of the second notifications settings affordance (e.g., turning off doorbell notifications, but leaving on motion detection). Optionally, at block 2534, subsequent to detecting the third input (and, optionally, also tapping “done”), the device transmits information to update notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video data (e.g., doorbell camera) according to the second notifications settings affordance such that the second type of notifications are disabled without updating the notifications settings of the first type of notifications (e.g., doorbell camera can still send notifications based on detected motion of people, but not based on detection of someone pressing the doorbell).

In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a second type of source of video data (e.g., doorbell camera): while displaying the second notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2412), the device detects a fourth input (e.g., 2450 i) corresponding to activation of the second notifications settings affordance (e.g., enable doorbell notifications). In some embodiments, the device displays a third notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2410) (to toggle all activity notifications on the camera but not doorbell notifications) concurrently with the first notifications settings affordance and the second notifications settings affordance.

In some embodiments, while displaying the third notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2410), the device detects a fifth input (e.g., 2450 j) corresponding to activation of the third notifications settings affordance (e.g., turn off all of the first type of notifications such as motion detection triggered notifications from the doorbell camera). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the fifth input, the device ceases display of the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2230 a-2230 c). In some embodiments, subsequent to detecting the fifth input (and, optionally, also tapping “done”), the device transmits information to update the notifications settings of the configuration profiles of the source of video data (e.g., doorbell cameras) according to the third notifications settings affordance (turn off all motion detection conditions for triggering notifications for the camera) such that the first type of notifications are disabled without updating the notifications settings of the second type of notifications (e.g., doorbell settings remain the activated).

In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a second type of source of video data: while displaying the first notifications settings affordance (e.g., 1804), the device detects a sixth input (2450 e) corresponding to activation of the first notifications settings affordance (e.g., disable all notifications on camera). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the sixth input, the device ceases display of the plurality of motion detection affordances (e.g., 2230 a-2230 c) and the second notifications settings affordance (e.g., 2410). In some embodiments, subsequent to detecting the sixth input (and, optionally, also tapping “done”), the device transmits information to update notifications settings of the configuration profiles of the source of video data (e.g., doorbell cameras) such that (turn off all notifications for the camera including doorbell notifications) the first type of notifications and the second type of notifications for the source of video data are disabled.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 2500 (e.g., FIGS. 25A-25D) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 2500 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, 2100, 2300, and 2700. For example, the controllable external device described in method 900 can be the controllable external device of method 2500 for which a configuration profile is set. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIGS. 26A-26I illustrate exemplary video media user interfaces displaying clip representations and indicators that indicate the type of conditions that triggered the recording, in accordance with some embodiments, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces of FIGS. 26A-26H are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 27A-27B.

FIG. 26A illustrates device 600 displaying user interface 604, which is the same as user interface 604 illustrated in FIG. 6A and FIG. 12A. At FIG. 20A, device 600 receives (e.g., detects) user input 2650 a (e.g., a tap) to select a displayed front door camera (e.g., Camera 1 610 a) (as described in further detail with respect to FIG. 6A). As illustrated in FIG. 26B, in response to receiving user input 2650 a, device 600 displays video media user interface 608 that includes a live (e.g., non-recorded, real-time) video feed from Camera 1. In some embodiments, video media user interface 608 includes an add button for adding a new scene or automation associated with Camera 1. Play/pause affordance 612 can be selected (e.g., with a tap input on display 602) to pause the live video feed. Video media user interface 608 also includes scrubber bar 620. As illustrated in FIG. 26B, scrubber bar 620 includes an interactive, elongated region on display 602 that includes a representation of media content that can be scrolled along the direction parallel to direction of elongation. Video media user interface 608 is the same as the video media user interface 608 of FIG. 6B and is further described with respect to FIG. 6B.

Current display indicator 622 in scrubber bar 620 indicates the portion of scrubber bar 620 that corresponds to the currently displayed image. Positions on scrubber bar 620 to the left of the current display indicator correspond to previously recorded clips, whereas positions on scrubber bar 620 to the right of the current display indicator 622 correspond to times after the time associated with the currently displayed image.

As illustrated in FIG. 26B, scrubber bar 620 includes clip representation 2604 c which is a recorded clip of video from Camera 1. Scrubber bar 620 of FIG. 26B has the same functionality as scrubber bar 620 of FIG. 6B. As illustrated in FIG. 26B, a recorded clip of video (e.g., 2604 c) is represented by a rectangular representation that includes a representative image from the respective recorded clip of video (e.g., a thumbnail representation or an actual image from the clip, such as a key frame from the clip). In some embodiments, the image represents the first frame or a frame in the middle of the recorded clip of video (e.g., a representative frame). Scrubber bar 620 also includes break indication 2626 c of periods of time during which recorded video from the Camera 1 is not available. As illustrated in FIG. 26B, the periods of time during which recorded video from Camera 1 is not available are indicated by spaces (e.g., areas with uniform color) and dots between representations of recorded clips of video, and do not have a representative frame from the video. The length of the representations of recorded clips of video and the spacing between the representations of recorded clips of video are further described above with respect to FIG. 6B. Device 600 displays representations of clips that were recorded from a previous day (or other time period) in a prior recordings section that is adjacent to live section in the scrubber bar, as illustrated by clip representation 2604 c.

In FIG. 26C, device 600 displays affordance 2620, represented by a chevron in video media user interface 608. Device 600 detects user input 2650 b to expand affordance 2620. Affordance 2120 provides the user with a shortcut to switch between cameras without navigating back to user interface 610 to select a different camera. Expanded affordance 2620 includes a menu listing affordances 2620 a-2620 d corresponding to cameras linked to the device. In some embodiments, when device 600 detects activation of one of affordances 2620 a-20620 d, device 600 changes the display of the front door camera to a display of the back patio camera.

FIG. 26D illustrates a live video feed showing a package on the front door step, (which is captured by the camera later in time as compared to FIG. 26C). As illustrated in FIG. 26D, a person picks up the package. The motion of the person in the field of view of Camera 1 triggers recording on Camera 1 (e.g., via motion detection processing by Camera 1). Recording is triggered when motion of a person is detected in accordance with a motion detection condition setting (e.g., record when motion of a person is detected) being enabled in the configuration profile of Camera 1. In response to detecting the motion, the live video feed from Camera 1 is recorded (e.g., by Camera 1 and sent to a server remote to Camera 1 or device 600). In some embodiments, a video data from Camera 1 is recorded for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 10 seconds from the time motion is detected or from the time motion is detected until 10 seconds after motion ceases to be detected).

In FIG. 26D, Camera 1 starts recording based on the detected motion from the person (based on the configurations to record based on motion detection) and sends data representing the newly recorded clip to device 600 (or a server) with information indicating the triggering condition for recording. Device 600 receives data representing the newly recorded clip of video and information indicating that the triggering condition is the detected motion of a person. In response to receiving data representing the recorded clip of the video, device 600 displays a clip representation 2604 a of the recorded clip in scrubber bar 620 at a position representative of the time the clip was recorded. Device 600 determines corresponding indicator 2602 a to display with clip representation 2604 a, based on the triggering condition provided in the corresponding clip information. Optionally, indicator 2602 a does not include content captured by the camera (e.g., indicator 2601 a is not a frame (or part thereof) captured by Camera 1). The image used in indicator 2602 a is an image corresponding to the type of triggering condition (e.g., icon of a person for the triggering condition being motion detection of a person, icon of an animal for the triggering condition being motion detection of a dog) that cause the recording to occur. Device 600 concurrently displays indicator 2602 a with clip representation 2604 a in scrubber bar 620, wherein indicator 2602 a includes an indication of a person based on the information indicating motion detection of a person was the triggered condition. In some embodiments, the information indicates the triggering condition is a motion detection condition based on the detected motion of an animal or vehicle (and so a corresponding indication of an animal or vehicle, respectively, would be displayed). In some embodiments, the information indicates the triggering condition is a condition that was satisfied when an accessory of the camera (e.g., a doorbell, lock, light, or intercom) detected user input (e.g., someone pressed a doorbell button of a camera). In some embodiments, device 600 displays indicator 2602 a overlaid on top of clip representation 2604 a in scrubber bar 602. In some embodiments, indicator 2602 a is smaller than the size of clip representation 2604 a and overlaps with a portion of clip representation 2604 a (and not another portion of clip representation 2604 a) when displayed in scrubber bar 602. In some embodiments, indicator 2602 a is displayed adjacent to clip representation 2604 a, as illustrated in FIG. 26E.

In FIG. 26F, Camera 1 detects motion of a car outside of the front door. Camera 1 starts recording based on the detected motion of the vehicle (based on the configurations to record based on motion detection) and sends data representing the newly recorded clip to device 600 (or a server) with information that detected motion of a vehicle triggered recording. Device 600 receives data representing the newly recorded clip of video and information indicating that the detected motion of a vehicle triggered recording from Camera 1. As illustrated in FIG. 26F, in response to receiving data representing a recorded clip of the video, device 600 displays a clip representation 2604 b of the recorded clip with indicator 2602 b in scrubber bar 620 at a position representative of the time the clip was recorded. Device 600 determines that the triggering condition for recording is the detected motion of the vehicle and displays indicator 2602 b with an image of a vehicle to reflect the triggering condition. In this example, indicator 2602 b does not include content captured by the camera (e.g., indicator 2601 a is not a frame (or part thereof) captured by Camera 1). In some embodiments, information regarding the triggering condition for recording is not available or does not indicate a triggering condition. When the triggering condition is not provided, device 600 displays clip representation 2604 c without an indicator. In some embodiments, device 600 displays clip representation 2604 c with an indicator indicating the triggering condition is not known.

In FIG. 26G, after recording the clip when motion was detected from the person as illustrated in FIG. 26E, Camera 1 detects a dog outside of the front door (as an alternative to the scenario in FIG. 26F). Camera 1 starts recording based on the detected motion of the animal (based on the configurations to record based on motion detection) and sends data representing the newly recorded clip to device 600 (or a server) with information that detected motion of an animal triggered the recording. Device 600 receives data representing the newly recorded clip of video and information indicating that the detected motion of an animal triggered the recording from Camera 1. As illustrated in FIG. 26G, in response to receiving data representing a recorded clip of the video, device 600 displays a clip representation 2604 d of the recorded clip with indicator 2602 d in scrubber bar 620 at a position representative of the time the clip was recorded, where the position is sequentially after previously received clip representation 2604 a. Device 600 determines that the triggering condition for recording is the detected motion of an animal and displays indicator 2604 b with an image of an animal to reflect the triggering condition. Both representative clips 2604 a and 2604 d are currently displayed in scrubber bar with corresponding indicators 2602 a and 2602 d respectively. As additional representative clips are added in, clips representations 2604 a and 2604 d are shifted with corresponding indicators 2602 a and 2602 d such that the indicators remain in unison with the respective representative clip.

In FIG. 26H, device 600 detects user input 2650 c corresponding to selection of representative clip 2604 a. In FIG. 26I, in response to detecting user input 2650 c, device 600 displays the corresponding recorded video data from Camera 1 in video media interface 602. In some embodiments, the display of the recorded clip of video is based on the position of user input 2650 c (e.g., the selected clip is played from a frame corresponding to the portion of clip representation 2604 a contacted by user input 2650 c). User interaction with scrubber bar 620 to play back a particular clip of recorded video shown in scrubber bar 620 is further discussed above with respect to FIGS. 6G-6R.

In FIG. 26I, in response to detecting user input 2650 c (as illustrated in FIG. 26H), device 600 expands the selected clip representation 2604 a to display a plurality of frames 2606 a-2606 c of the selected recorded clip of video. In some embodiments, the plurality of frames 2606 a-2606 c each include a representative image from the recorded clip along with indicator 2602 a that is associated with clip representation 2604 a. Thus, each frame (e.g., 2606 a-2606 c) is displayed with indicator 2602 a indicating that the recorded clip of video was recorded when motion of a person was detected. In some embodiments, one of the frames in clip representation 2604 a includes indicator 2602 a, but other frames do not include the indicator. Further, when device 600 detects input that causes the display frames 2606 a-2606 c and clip representations 2604 a and 2604 b to shift in scrubber bar 620, indicators corresponding to each displayed frame or clip representation are shifted in unison with the corresponding frame or clip representation.

FIGS. 27A-27B are a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying video media user interfaces including clip representations and indicators that indicate the type of conditions that triggered the recording. Method 2700 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) with a display. Some operations in method 2700 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

As described below, method 2700 provides an intuitive way for displaying video media user interfaces which display clip representations and indicators that indicate the type of conditions that triggered the recording from a source of video data (e.g., a camera) using an electronic device. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for interacting with recorded video by being able to navigate to particular recorded clips based on a triggering condition, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to navigate to relevant recorded clips more efficiently allows the user to spend less time playing back content that the user is not interested in. This helps the device to conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 2702, the device (e.g., 600) displays, on the display device, a video media user interface (e.g., 608), including concurrently displaying: a video feed (e.g., a live video feed, or a pre-recorded video feed) from a source of video data (e.g., an external camera) and a scrubber bar (e.g., 612). In some embodiments, the scrubber bar is an interactive, elongated region on the display that includes a representation of media content that can be scrolled along the direction parallel to direction of elongation. In some embodiments, the media content (e.g., the video) can be played back at arbitrary and variable rates based on a characteristic (e.g., the speed of a received user input.

At block 2704, the device receives, (e.g., from the source of video data) first data (e.g., a frame, a key frame) including a first representation (e.g., 2604 a) of a first recorded clip of video (e.g., recorded by the source of video data), and first triggering information for the first recorded clip of video (e.g., that indicates a condition that caused (started) the recording (e.g., at the source of video data) of the first recorded clip of video).

At block 2706, (in response to receiving the first data and the first triggering information) in accordance with a determination that the first triggering information indicates recording of the first recorded clip of video was triggered by a first type of condition (e.g., recording was triggered by motion detection of a person), the device concurrently displays, on the display device, in the scrubber bar (e.g., 612): a first indication (e.g., 2602 a) (e.g., the indicator is an icon showing a person) corresponding to the first type of condition (e.g., the recording condition is motion detection of a person) (e.g., without displaying a second indication), and the first representation (e.g., 2604 a) of the first recorded clip of video. In some embodiments, the device displays the first indication (or second indication) adjacent to (next to) the first representation (e.g., the indication is displayed next to the clip such that the indication does not overlap with the frame). In some embodiments, the device displays the first indication (or second indication) and the first representation of the first recorded clip of video includes displaying the first indication (or second indication) overlaid on a portion of the first representation (e.g., the indication is displayed on top of the clip such that the indication overlaps with at least a portion of the frame, the indication is displayed on top of the clip such that the indication completely overlaps the frame). In some embodiments, the displayed respective (e.g., first, second) indication is smaller than the displayed first (and second) representation of the first recorded clip. Thus, the display of the indication lets the user know what cause the clip to be recorded, but display of the indication does not prevent display of the representation of the clip (because the indication is smaller in size.

Displaying indicators with the corresponding representation of the recorded clip provides additional context for each clip representation. This allows the user to more efficiently skip to the relevant clip based on the indicator, which provides information on the triggering condition for recording. Displaying clip representations and indicators that indicate the type of conditions that triggered the recording help the user to better navigate through recorded video, thereby reducing the cognitive burden on a user and creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to navigate to relevant recorded clips more efficiently allows the user to spend less time playing back content that the user is not interested in. This helps the device to conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

At block 2708, (in response to receiving the first data and the first triggering information) in accordance with a determination that the first triggering information indicates recording of the first recorded clip of video was triggered by the second type of condition (e.g., recording is triggered by motion detection of an animal) different from the first type of condition (e.g., recording is triggered by motion detection of a person), the device concurrently displays, on the display device, in the scrubber bar (e.g., 612): a second indication (e.g., 2602 d) (e.g., the indicator is an icon of an animal) corresponding to the second type of condition (e.g., the recording condition is motion detection of an animal), wherein the second indication is different from the first indication (e.g., without displaying the first indication) and the first representation (e.g., 2604 a) of the first recorded clip of video.

Displaying a different indicator for each type of condition that triggers recording provides the user with additional context about the recorded clip, which is useful for finding a particular recorded clip. This allows the user to more efficiently navigate to the relevant clip based on the indicator, which provides information on the triggering condition for recording, thereby reducing the cognitive burden on a user and creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to navigate to relevant recorded clips more efficiently allows the user to spend less time playing back content that the user is not interested in. This helps the device to conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

Optionally, at block 2710, in accordance with a determination that first triggering information does not indicate recording of the first clip of video was triggered by a condition, displaying, in the scrubber bar, the first representation (e.g., 2604 c) of the first recorded clip of video without concurrently displaying an indication corresponding to a condition (e.g., without displaying an indication that the recorded clip of video was triggered by a condition and without displaying the first indication or the second indication).

Optionally, at block 2712, while displaying on the display device, a video media user interface (e.g., 608), the device detects a first input (e.g., 2650 c) (e.g., a right swipe on the display or a tap on the clip in the scrubber bar) corresponding to a selection of a portion (e.g., a certain time) of the first recorded clip of video (or of a third recorded clip of video).

Optionally at block 2714, in response to detecting the first user input the device updates the display of the video feed to correspond to the selected portion of the first recorded clip of video (or to the corresponding third clip of video).

Optionally at block 2716, the device concurrently shifts display of the first representation of the first recorded clip (e.g., 2604 a) of video and the respective (e.g., first, second) indication (e.g., 2602 a) to a new position in the scrubber bar (e.g., 612). In some embodiments, a pointer element is moved to the representation of the clip. In some embodiments, the representation of the clip is moved to a different position in the scrubber bar (e.g., the center). In some embodiments, the representation of the entire video content in the scrubber bar is scrolled such that the content represented at a fixed position (e.g., the center) in the scrubber bar is displayed in the main region), wherein the first representation of the first recorded clip and the respective indicator are shifted in unison (e.g., first representation and indication are moved together to preserve their relative positions to each other).

Displaying a corresponding indicator for each recorded clip, even if the clip is expanded into frames or shifted in the scrubber bar, allows the user to differentiate between multiple recorded clips (and frames within a recorded clip) in the video media user interface. This allows the user to more efficiently navigate to the relevant clip based on the indicator, which provides information on the triggering condition for recording. Displaying clip representations and indicators that indicate the type of conditions that triggered the recording, help the user to better navigate through recorded video, thereby reducing the cognitive burden on a user and creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to navigate to relevant recorded clips more efficiently allows the user to spend less time playing back content that the user is not interested in. This helps the device to conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

In some embodiments, while displaying, on the display device, the first representation (e.g., 2604 a) of the first recorded clip of video and the first indication (e.g., 2602 a) in the scrubber bar (e.g., 612): the device receives (e.g., from the source of video data): second data (e.g., from the source of video data) including a second representation (e.g., 2604 b) of a second recorded clip of video (e.g., recorded by the source of video data), and second triggering information for the second recorded clip of video (that indicates a condition that caused (started) the recording (e.g., at the source of video data) of the second recorded clip of video).

In some embodiments, (in response to receiving the second data and the second triggering information) in accordance with a determination the second triggering information indicates recording of the second recorded clip of video was triggered by the second type of condition (e.g., recording was triggered by motion detection of an animal), the device concurrently displaying, on the display device, in the scrubber bar: a second indication (e.g., 2602 b) (e.g., the indicator is an icon showing a vehicle) corresponding to the second type of condition, wherein the second indication is different from the first indication (e.g., the recording condition is motion detection of a vehicle) (e.g., without displaying a first indication), and the second representation of the second recorded clip of video.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 2700 (e.g., FIGS. 27A-27B) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above/below. For example, method 2700 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, 2100, 2300, and 2500. For example, the motion detection, recording configurations described in method 2100 are used to determine the type of indicator that is displayed with each clip representation in the video media user interface described in method 2700. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the techniques and their practical applications. Others skilled in the art are thereby enabled to best utilize the techniques and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

Although the disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosure and examples as defined by the claims.

As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources to improve the capture and viewing of video feeds and recordings. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, or any other identifying information.

The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to provide improved monitoring of devices and property and to generally improve security (e.g., home security). Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables calculated control of the delivered content. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure.

The present disclosure further contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. For example, personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection should occur only after receiving the informed consent of the users. In addition, for added privacy, the techniques described above with capabilities to detect particular individuals, animals, or cars would incorporate an “opt in” system that would require users to opt into enabling the feature. Additionally, such entities would take any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices.

Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of video feed monitoring and storage, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services. In addition to providing “opt in” and “opt out” options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app.

Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user's privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods.

Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, content (e.g., video content) can be selected and delivered to users by inferring preferences based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the content being requested by the device associated with a user, other non-personal information available to the content delivery services, or publicly available information.
